Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Big Bend” showing July 26-Aug. 1 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.
In the unknowable reaches of West Texas, two families meet for a long overdue reunion — but events quickly don’t go as planned. As they explore the desert, bathe in mud, and keep a wary eye out for snakes, the dust motes of menace and unease begin to swirl around them. When crisis strikes, they have nobody to turn to but themselves.

“The Big Bend” follows the adventure of these two families in a hauntingly dangerous environment, creating an unforgettable portrait of marriage, friendship, parenthood, and survival.
