Dear Programmers:
It is with great pleasure we announce that TFC’s long-standing relationship with bio-pic master Jeffrey Schwarz (Vito, I Am Divine, Tab Hunter Confidential, etc.…) is once again happening now with his newest film THE FABULOUS ALLAN CARR, which premiered just last week at Seattle International.
We’ve also added the 2017 SXSW Audience Award-winning drama THE LIGHT OF THE MOON, in which a young Latina woman is forced to confront the reality of sexual assault in her life.
And this is in addition to our PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED FESTIVAL TITLES.
Please email us for screeners at festivals@thefilmcollaborative.org.
If you are ready to go ahead and book one or more of the films, please do so using our new Online Booking Tool.
All best,
Jeffrey Winter

ABOUT THE FILM:
Armed with a limitless Rolodex and a Benedict Canyon enclave with its own disco, Allan Carr threw the Hollywood parties that defined the 1970s. A producer, manager, and marketing genius, Carr built his bombastic reputation amid a series of successes including the mega hit musical film GREASE and the Broadway sensation LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, until it all came crashing down after he produced the notorious debacle of the 1989 Academy Awards.

ABOUT THE FILM:
Bonnie, a young and successful Latina architect, is sexually assaulted while walking home from an evening out with friends in Brooklyn. At first, she attempts to keep the assault a secret from her long-term boyfriend Matt, but the truth quickly emerges. Bonnie emphatically denies the impact of what has just happened to her. She fights to regain normalcy and control of her life, but returning to her old life is more complicated than expected. Her attempt to recapture the intimacy she previously had with Matt falters and cracks begin to surface in their relationship. Another attack in the neighborhood only drives Bonnie further into denial, before an encounter with an at-risk woman causes her to face the truth and confront her own self-blame.
Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Short Term 12) gives a powerful and moving performance as Bonnie, a woman who maintains her dignity and sense of humor as she deals with the aftermath of a life-altering experience. Written and directed by Emmy™-nominated Australian filmmaker Jessica M. Thompson in her feature film debut, THE LIGHT OF THE MOON is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of relationships in the face of a tragedy.
