New Film from Director of God's Army Premieres April 4
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- In a gala celebration complete with red
carpet, limos and celebrities signing autographs, the new film from
the director of GOD'S ARMY will premiere on Wednesday, April 4 at
Jordan Commons. All proceeds from tickets sales at the premiere of
BRIGHAM CITY will go directly to benefit the Utah Foster Care
Foundation. Representatives of the foundation will be present at the
premiere to help raise awareness of the need for more foster care
families in Utah.
Free events open to the public surrounding the premiere include a
free concert from bluegrass sensations RYAN SHUPE &THE RUBBERBAND
(who make cameo appearances in BRIGHAM CITY), a prize drawing, and
appearances from the stars of the film, including writer / producer /
director / co-star RICHARD DUTCHER and MATTHEW A. BROWN, best known
for his starring role as Elder Allen in GOD'S ARMY.
The free concert will start at 6 p.m. outside the Megaplex 17 at
Jordan Commons. Cast members will begin arriving at the red carpet at
around that same time. Ticket holders may enter the theater and have
autographs signed by the cast of the film, and the premiere will
begin at 7 p.m.
Tickets for the world premiere are $20 and go on sale at the Megaplex
17 at Jordan Commons on Friday, March 16. For additional details call
801-304-4577.
The Utah Foster Care Foundation, which will benefit from the
premiere, is a private, non-profit organization whose mission is to
recruit, train, and retain foster care families. Since its inception
in 1999, the Foundation has helped increase the number of foster care
families in Utah by over 25%.
BRIGHAM CITY tells the story of a small, fictional Utah town that is
rocked to the core when a stranger is found murdered near her car.
Dutcher plays the county sheriff who is also a Mormon bishop in the
sleepy town. Brown plays his eager young deputy.
Anticipation surrounding the release of the next "Mormon Film" has
been high. The filmmaker has been tight-lipped as to the content of
the film, only revealing that the plot centers around a murder that
occurs in the picturesque (fictional) town of Brigham, shattering its
tranquility and testing the limits of its faith. So far even the
film's rating has remained a mystery.
