DANDELION

Thursday, July 29 at 7 pm

U.S.A.- 94 minutes


Directed by Mark Milgard

With Vincent Kartheiser, Taryn Manning, Mare Winningham and Arliss Howard

In his feature debut, Dandelion, director/co-writer Mark Milgard delivers a powerfully authentic look at young love, and a poetic exploration of how love-romantic, filial, and platonic-frees and heals. Mason Mullich is a teenager growing up in a world where love seems to have gone missing, where families exist in fragmented silence and change feels all but impossible. Then Mason meets a girl named Danny, and their soulful connection gives him a glimpse of a life beyond what he has ever known. Filmed in Idaho and Washington State. Written by Mark Milgard and R.D. Murphy. Writer/Co-Producer/Original Music: Robb Williamson. Produced by Molly M. Mayeux. Cinematographer: Tim Orr.
