Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “A Father’s Promise” showing Jan. 5-11 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.
Directed by Rick Korn and executive produced by Sheryl Crow, “A Father’s Promise” is a powerful and uplifting story of Mark Barden, a loving father and musician, who experiences immense grief when his son, Daniel, is murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary.
Mark lost all joy in music and makes a promise to his son and himself to become a powerful voice for change.
Featuring musical performances by Mark Barden, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, Sheryl Crow, Karen Fairchild (Little Big Town), David Shaw (The Revivalists), Jimmy Vivino, Alternate Routes, Aztec Two-Step, and Bernie Williams (guitar player and former NY Yankee).
“A Father’s Promise” is an inspirational journey of the remarkable resilience and humanity of Mark, his family and Sandy Hook Promise as they successfully create non-political, solutions-based programs to address the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Becoming a leading gun violence prevention activist that has saved thousands of lives while taking on the powerful gun lobby and succeeding, Mark inspires Presidents, Congress, Governors, schools, students, and parents.
After years of not playing music, he eventually finds that joy once again.
“A Father’s Promise” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Jan. 5-11. Showtimes will be Friday and Sunday, Jan. 5 and 7 at 3:30 p.m.; and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 9, 10 and 11 at 6:30 p.m.
