The advanced screening will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 22, 2015 at the Carmike Thoroughbred 20 Theater in Cool Springs. All proceeds will benefit Bridges Domestic Violence Center.
“We are thrilled that Ms. Judd contacted us about this opportunity,” said Bridges’ Executive Director, Linda Crockett Jackson. “This movie has been long anticipated by fans of the book. We are so lucky that the leading actress lives in our town and wanted to do something to support Bridges.”
A limited number of tickets will be available and can be purchased at www.bridgesdvc.org. For $35, attendees will enjoy the movie screening followed by a Q&A with Ashley Judd, as well as popcorn and a drink. VIP tickets are $75 and include a meet & greet reception with Ashley Judd at The Honeysuckle in Cool Springs after the movie screening, plus hors d’oeuvres, a signature drink and an autographed copy of the Big Stone Gap book.
Writer and director Adriana Trigiani brings her best-selling novel Big Stone Gap to the screen in a heartwarming tale of family secrets and self-discovery in a small coal-mining town during the late 1970s. Shot entirely on location in the real Big Stone Gap, Trigiani’s hometown, the film captures the joys, the tribulations and the rewards of life in the Appalachian Mountains. The award-winning ensemble includes Ashley Judd, Patrick Wilson, Whoopi Goldberg, John Benjamin Hickey, Jane Krakowski with Anthony LaPaglia and Jenna Elfman.
