Bozeman Film Society continues its 2023 season with a screening of the locally filmed feature, The Old Way. The event will be held at the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture on Wednesday, March 8th at 7pm.
Academy Award-winner Nicolas Cage stars in his first-ever Western as Colton Briggs, a cold-blooded gunslinger turned respectable family man. When an outlaw and his gang put Colton and his family in peril, he is forced to take up arms with an unlikely partner – his 12-year-old daughter (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) – in this action-filled film that builds toward its fateful showdown with pulse-pounding suspense. Directed by Brett Donowho, the film is Rated R with a run time of 95 minutes.
Filmed in Montana, a Q&A with Casting Director Tina Buckingham and featured Montana actors will follow the screening. Montana’s vibrant film industry is supported by many talented, local crew and actors. Joining Buckingham onstage to talk about pursuing roles in productions are actors Everett Blunck, Beau Linnell and Phillip Aguirre from The Old Way, along with actress Jenna Ciralli and actor-producer Philip Winchester – cast by Buckingham in The Patriot at age 14 – who’s since been featured in three television series and numerous films.
A second screening will follow at 7pm on Wednesday, March 22nd. The title has yet to be announced. Visit the BFS website or find them on social media for updated event information.
