A missed opportunity.
In my checking details of for the previous post about Hayseed being part of the AHITH later this month, I stumbled across a bit of interesting news.
Apparently, Hayseed was screened during the Derby Film Festival back in mid-November. Not only that but the director Travis Burgess was present and took part in a Q&A session. It is possible that this was in effect the première festival showing by the film.
For our international readers, Derby is a city in the centre of England, best known for the home of Rolls Royce jet engines and a lot of train engineering works.
If only I had known this was happening before hand I would have made the effort to try and attend the event. That would have been a first for this website.
The festival’s website has the following description of the film:
A dark comedy murder-mystery set in a small American Midwest town, where detective Leo Hobbins (Bill Sage) is left to investigate a murder, when the local reverend is found dead in the baptismal font leaving Hobbins to depend on the band of offbeat residents in the town including the local gossip Joyce (Kathryn Morris, Cold Case)and the gullible Duck (Jack Falahee, How To get Away With Murder) to assist with the investigation.
