U.S. Premiere Event of “The Answer” (which was filmed in the Valley)

This Thanksgiving season, honor the men in your life by seeing a locally-made, award-winning film about them…and the friendships they have…
6:30pm: Red Carpet / Meet the Cast & Crew
7:30pm: Film

PLEASE JOIN OUR CAST AND CREW for the U.S. Premiere of “The Answer”, a film about friendship. Northampton was home base for the production, so local writer/director Wade Wofford wanted its U.S. Premiere to be in the community that made it possible. From Noho-based fundraising, to shooting on location in the area, the Pioneer Valley played a pivotal role to the making of the film. Winner of the Rising Star Award at Canada International Film Festival, this red-carpet event marks the first time the film will be shown on U.S. soil.

The Story:
Gavin loses his wife to a sudden car accident. He falls apart, and finds his teaching career in jeopardy. His younger brother Harry organizes five of Gavin’s closest friends from different eras of his life – and the ensemble sets off to hike a 60-mile leg of the Appalachian Trail. Personalities clash. These men, after all, have only one thing in common: their friendship to Gavin. As they get deeper into the forest, each man finds his own inner demons rising to the surface.
