Fort McCoy

Finally:

The film opens in a limited release in the U.S. next month. You can find the dates and locations here.

Some great news today, completely out of left field:

Fort McCoy has found a distributor and will be hitting theatres in the U.S. and Canada later this year. It won’t be released straight to cell phone after all!

A big congrats to Kate Connor and the cast & crew!

From Deadline:

Fort McCoy had a run on the festival circuit in 2011 and 2012 and has been acquired by monterey media, which nabbed North American rights and plans a late summer theatrical release.

And indieWIRE:

“We are thrilled to be working with Monterey Media with their rich tradition of championing beautiful award-winning films” said Connor. “Not only is it a personal film involving the history of my family, but it is our collective history as Americans, so we can’t wait to bring this untold story to a wider American audience with Monterey.”

Fort McCoy will be shown at the Glasgow Film Festival today at 17:50 h. Kate Connor will be there for a Q&A. Details and tickets here.

Fort McCoy will be screened at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival tonight. If you are in the area, you can get tickets here.

Fort McCoy will get a couple of screenings at the 20th Annual Stella Artois St. Louis International Film Festival (SLIFF), on November 12 & 13. Details at CinemaStLouis.org.

Fort McCoy has won the audience award at the Tacoma Film Festival yesterday. From the Weekly Volcano:

Kate Connor, director of the feature film Fort McCoy, was the only winning filmmaker in the room full of TFF staff, filmmakers, actors and the public. Connor grabbed the Audience Choice Award for her drama based on a true story about a Wisconsin family that lived next door to a Nazi POW camp. (…)

“We are so honored and touched to win this award,” Connor told the crowd. “We have had so much fun in Tacoma.”

And Eric’s next episode of Glee is probably 3×06, based on this tweet from Lea Michele. Either way, we won’t see it for at least another month. The show is on a three-week break, with no new episodes airing until November 1.

Fort McCoy will be shown at the Tacoma Film Festival on Saturday at 2 pm. More details at GrandCinema.com.

Michael Worth tweeted the other day that the film won an award for best cinematography at the Boston Film Festival last month.
