EXCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENTS IN MONTREAL, TORONTO, EDMONTON, CALGARY AND VANCOUVER THIS AUGUST
Phase 4 Films is pleased to announce Red State: An Evening with Kevin Smith, a five city exclusive engagement featuring a screening of the controversial thriller RED STATE, followed by an extensive “Q&A” with the acclaimed indie director. Smith will bring his no-holds-barred tales about filmmaking, pop culture and his life to Canadian audiences with stops in Montreal on August 14 at Theater Hall Concordia, Toronto on August 15 at Toronto Underground, Edmonton on August 16 at The Garneau, Calgary on August 17 at The Uptown, and Vancouver on August 18 at The Vogue.
"I wear my love for Canada on the sleeve of my hockey sweater, so ever since we started planning the RED STATE USA TOUR, I've been ready to do a RED PROVINCE TOUR across the grand cultural mosaic that is the Great White North. Now, thanks to Phase 4, I finally get to scare the shit out of a buncha Canucks with the weird little Tarantino/Coen Brothers homage flick that is RED STATE. This is not a comedy like CLERKS; this is a horror movie. Like JERSEY GIRL."
Written and directed by Smith and produced by Jon Gordon, RED STATE stars Michael Parks, John Goodman, Academy Award® Winner Melissa Leo and Kyle Gallner. It is a story about a group of Middle American teens who encounter fundamentalists with a much more sinister agenda. The film is a departure from Smith’s trademark comedic style, showcasing a combination of horror and suspense with elements of gallows humor.
“RED STATE is a fantastic film filled with standout performances from a star studded cast,” says Phase 4 President and CEO, Berry Meyerowitz. “Combining the screening with Kevin’s incredibly funny, frank and interactive show makes Red State: An Evening with Kevin Smith a truly unique and unforgettable experience.”
Following the film’s highly talked about and hotly debated Sundance premiere, Smith toured the film within the U.S. to enthusiastic audiences, grossing almost $1 million to date from only fifteen single show engagements.
