Tatterdemalion Takes Top Honors at Kansas City Film Festival

Tatterdemalion, a film which explores troubled family relationships and child neglect issues in the Ozarks, took top honors as the "Best Narrative Feature" at the Kansas City Film Festival this past week.  The movie was filmed in and around West Plains, Missouri, and featured the acting talents of national and local performers.

Ramaa Mosley directed Tatterdemalion, which was co-written by her and Tim Macy.  The movie premiered this past October at the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis.  It will also be featured next month at the Bentonville Film Festival in Arkansas, an effort headed by actress Geena Davis which promotes the work of female filmmakers.

Mosley and Macy previously worked together on The Brass Teapot, a film that was based on a short story written by Macy.  That movie premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2012 and was reviewed in several national publications including Variety and The New York Times - and it has run on Showtime and Netflix.

Congratulations to everyone connected with this exceptional cinematic achievement.  Pa Rock will see you in Bentonville!
