"Tatterdemalion," a feature-length motion picture which was filmed in and around West Plains, Missouri, in the summer of 2015, is set to have it's world premier at the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis next month. The film's lead actress, Leven Ramblin, who has had roles in "The Hunger Games" and "Chasing Mavericks" will be in attendance, as will the movie's director, Ramaa Mosley, and the film's writer, Tim Macy.
Pa Rock will also be there - puffed up like a proud old toad!
"Tatterdemalion" is the second movie collaboration of Mosley and Macy. Their first, "The Brass Teapot," premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2012. (Pa Rock was at that one, too!) The film was distributed by Magnolia Pictures and was eventually featured on both Showtime and Netflix. It was also reviewed in several prominent publications including The New York Times and Variety, and was nominated for the International Critics Award and the Saturn Award.
The central character of "Tatterdemalion" is Fern Sreaves, a veteran of the wars in the Middle East who returns home to attend the funeral of her father and to search for her wayward brother. As she is becoming readjusted to the unique pace of life in the Ozarks, Fern discovers a young boy living alone in the woods, and that discovery leads her on a quest to both care for the abandoned child and discover his story. Several local actors are also featured in this clever tale which is rich in Ozark traditions and folklore.
This year's Heartland Film Festival will feature a record 213 films from 104 countries. "Tatterdemalion" will be shown at 2:30 p.m. on October 14th.
The popcorn is on me!
