| We are excited to announce our Opening Night Film, Sun Dogs, directed by Jennifer Morrison. You may recognize Jennifer from her acting work, most recently as the roll of Emma Swan in Once Upon a Time, she also starred in How I Met Your Mother and House, among many other roles. This is Jennifer's feature directing debut and we couldn't be more excited to open the festival with this fantastic film starring Allison Janney, Melissa Benoist, Michael Angarano, and Ed O'Neill.
In this dramedy, a young man determined to be a military hero, ends up on a misguided adventure with his family and new friend Tally, which leads him to the most unlikely realization of how he can courageously “save lives.” |
