Brigham City World Premiere Nearly Sold Out
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- In a gala celebration complete with red
carpet, limos and celebrities like Richard Dutcher and Karl Malone,
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. Utah's Lieutenant Governor Olene Walker has also been invited
to attend to show the state government's support of the Foster Care
Foundation.
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 nearly sold out. There are still
a few available at the Megaplex 17 at Jordan Commons. 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 town, shattering its tranquility and
testing the limits of its faith. Last week the MPAA gave BRIGHAM
CITY a PG-13 rating, heightening the rumors and attention swirling
around the release.
