August 05 2019 - 9:03AM
via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- The Wonderfilm Media Corporation (TSXV: WNDR)
(OTC: WDRFF), (“Wonderfilm” or the “Company”) announced today its
latest feature film, Tammy is Always Dying, is selected for a
worldwide premiere at the prestigious Toronto Film Festival in
September 2019.
Tammy is Always Dying is actor-turned-director Amy
Jo Johnson's heart wrenching second feature, starring Felicity
Huffman and Anastasia Phillips. Produced by Jessica Adams,
Co-Produced by Wonderfilm Media.
The film follows a daughter, Catherine (Anastasia
Phillips) attempting to care for her ornery, ailing mother, Tammy
(Felicity Huffman). On the 29th of every month, when the welfare
runs out, Catherine talks her alcoholic mother off of the same
bridge - literally. Catherine, a connoisseur of bad decisions, has
dreams of being successful, at anything. Tammy, her mother, has
been so poor for so long all she can do is party about it. When
Tammy is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Catherine is forced to
move in and care for her. Enter Ilana, a glamorous purveyor of
talk-show tragedy porn who wants to help Catherine publish her life
story. Caught between sacrifices and selling out, Catherine must
decide if life without Tammy is really a better life.
Kirk Shaw, Wonderfilm CEO, said, “It’s not easy to
get selected for a TIFF premiere so I extend my personal and
professional congratulations to Amy Jo Johnson for perfectly
capturing this delicate, layered story through her camera lens and
for eliciting incredibly nuanced performances from Felicity and
Anastasia. Everyone at Wonderfilm is very proud to be the
co-producing partner in this production and looks forward to
supporting you at the world premiere in Toronto.”
In addition to Tammy is Always Dying, the
Wonderfilm feature film The Fanatic starring John Travolta
premieres in theatres across the US August 30th. Additional
details on Wonderfilm’s expanding 2020 slate will be announced at
the Toronto Film Festival in partnership with our new foreign sales
division, Wonderfilm Global.
