All-star ensemble cast featured in Sundance sensation debuting at Fisher Theatre
Sedona AZ (September 12, 2019) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of the Sundance hit and critically-acclaimed new film “Before You Know It” Sept. 20-25 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
“Before You Know It” featured an award-winning, all-star ensemble cast, including Judith Light, Mandy Patinkin, Alec Baldwin, Hahhah Pearl Utt, Jen Tullock and Mike Colter.
A long-kept family secret thrusts codependent, thirty-something sisters into a literal soap opera.
Stage manager Rachel Gurner (Hannah Pearl Utt) still lives in her childhood apartment above the theater her family owns and operates in New York City. Level-headed Rachel is the only thing standing between her family — her off-kilter actress sister Jackie (Jen Tullock), her eccentric playwright father Mel (Mandy Patinkin), and her deadpan preteen niece Dodge (Oona Yaffe) — and utter chaos.
Then, in the wake of a sudden family tragedy, Rachel and Jackie learn their presumed-deceased mother (Judith Light) is not just alive but thriving as a soap-opera star. Now the sisters’ already-precarious balance turns upside down, and Rachel must figure out how to liberate herself from this surreal imbroglio.
“A refreshing comedy. A noteworthy work from an upcoming dynamic duo, co-writers Hannah Pearl Utt and Jen Tullock, who have a chemistry that you want to see in more films, especially if they’re like ‘Before You Know It’.” — RogerEbert.com
“Engrossing and entertaining. A strong debut that pushes the boundaries of what movies made from the female gaze can mean to audiences of all kinds.” — The Hollywood Reporter
