"Tatterdemalion," a feature-length motion picture that was filmed in and around West Plains, Missouri, in the summer of 2015, is coming home. The movie, which had its world premiere at the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis this past October, will debut in West Plains this evening in a "Red Carpet" premier at the town's local multi-plex, The Glass Sword Cinema. Tonight's first showing is by invitation only, with the cast and crew using the opportunity to bring in their relatives and friends to see the finished product that consumed so much of their lives back in the summer of 2015.
Early reports indicate that the number of "invitees" totals in excess of six-hundred and will require three screens for the showing. In addition to the invitees, a Facebook page created to support the movie gave away sixty-seven pairs of tickets to lucky individuals.
Tonight's initial showing will be followed by a question-and answer session. The evening will culminate with an open gathering at Roper's Saloon on the West Plains Square with everyone welcome. The local premier is being sponsored by the Glass Sword Cinema and the West Plains Downtown Revitalization Committee.
For those who failed to score an invitation to the premier or win free tickets, the movie will run through next week at the Glass Sword, open to the general public - and, if demand exists, the theatre has agreed to run it a second week.
The film's director, Ramaa Mosely, will be on hand for the big event, along with the movie's writer, Tim Macy - as well as most of the cast and crew. Mosely is from Los Angeles, and Macy, a native of Howell County, lives in the Kansas City area. Both have developed strong ties to this area.
