“In rural South Carolina, Timothy Blackmon felt a calling to fill a spiritual void in himself and share it with his fellow man. His chosen method was an amateur Christian wrestling league. In the ring, Blackmon transforms into the villainous “T-Money” as he dukes it out with Christians who choose to worship through sport. While a boisterous spectacle on stage, behind closed doors, Blackmon grapples with a crumbling marriage and the suicide of his father – the man who told him to never stop wrestling. Without ever judging its subject, the film explores one man’s dichotomous spiritual struggle.”

“Using found footage from the 1960s and contemporary interviews, this film tells the story of Richard and Mildred Loving: an interracial couple who were married at a time when interracial marriage was illegal in 16 states. Arrested and forced to leave Virginia in 1958 for the felony of being married, the Lovings decided to fight back. This film follows the couple and their young lawyers as they prepare for the landmark 1967 Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court case that would lead to the legalization of interracial marriage in all states.”

Director Peter Monro and actor Erin Anderson sit with Sean McCord to discuss Days Together, a feature film that screens Saturday night at 9:00 pm at Vinegar Hill Theater.

Here’s the write-up from the Film Festival:

“Director and writer Peter Monro ditches heavy handedness and morals in this realistic and modern love tale about a beautiful, unsatisfied woman. Surrounded by friends who are settling down into adulthood, Alex (Erin Anderson) is at the end of a string of empty hook-ups when she meets Paul (Brian Soika), an equally despondent musician. When Alex decides to travel to Seattle to escape Los Angeles for a few short days, Paul convinces her to take him along for the ride. The new friends set out on the road, enjoying each other’s company and comfort until their incompatibility becomes clear. Beautifully shot and smartly paced, the film forgoes grand cliché in favor of the small, knowing moments that inform relationships.”

“In 2011, U.Va. professor of art Kevin Everson premiered his work at the Toronto International Film Festival, had a solo exhibition of his work at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and received a fairly gushing review from New York Times art critic Holland Carter. Collected here are five of his most recent films.Chevelle is a document of a discarded vehicle’s ultimate crushing fate. Ten Five in the Grass is his take on a cowboy film. The Tombigbee Chronicles No. 2 is comprised of three short films exploring individuals from Everson’s parents’ hometown of Columbus, Mississippi: Rita Larson’s Boy, Early Riser, and Chicken.”

Growing Up Cason will be shown at 1:00 pm on Saturday at Vinegar Hill Theater. Read Bryan McKenzie’s article on the film in the Daily Progress.
