BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. – A dark comedy about bungling criminals will be the first indie film to screen as part of the Bellows Falls Films Independent Filmmaker Showcase, at the Bellows Falls Opera House, in September and October.
The Bellows Falls Opera House is a municipally owned film and live event venue located in the heart of Bellows Falls. In an effort to provide accessible opportunities for independent filmmakers to screen their films in a fully operational theater, the Bellows Falls Opera House has created BFFilms, in special arrangement with Rockingham Entertainment Development (RED). BFFilms seeks to offer a variety of films to the public by inviting independent filmmakers from throughout New England to present commercially viable projects without the burden of excessive upfront costs. Ticket sales will be handled through the Bellows Falls Opera House website, www.bellowsfallsoperahouse.com.
“Dead English” (www.vimeo.com/891311592?share=copy) will be presented on Tuesday, Oct. 8, with actor, filmmaker, and musician Matt Munroe (www.mattmunroe.com). The dark comedy explores what happens after a bungled heist goes wrong, and two friends are forced to deal with the body of the individual they burgled. A Brothers Munroe Production, Munroe is a Vermont native who spent twenty years in Los Angeles, and has returned home to live in southern Vermont. He was cast in the film “Independence Day: Resurgence.” Munroe will be available for a Q&A after the film. Reserve tickets online at www.bellowsfallsoperahouse.com/whats-playing-2.
