Winter’s Bone is coming home for the first time.
The 2010 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winning film, shot in the Ozarks, will screen at 8 p.m. in SGF at Missouri State’s Plaster Student Union, giving a sneak peek to 450 people before being released to theaters in June. Depending on your perception of good or bad news, the event is sold out, but don’t worry, TAGsgf.com will have thorough coverage that will get you ready for the June 18 unveiling at Campbell 16.
But, back to tonight. Two local musical groups who are featured in the film, Marideth Sisco’s band and White River Music Company, will play at 7 p.m. The film will screen at 8 p.m. Afterward, there will be a short interview and Q&A session with the film director, Debora Granik.
As for the plot, here is a summation. Winter’s Bone follows Ree Daniels, a teenage Ozark Mountain girl, as she tries to keep her family together. After her meth cooking father puts the family home up as collateral and disappears, Ree travels across the roughest part of the country into life threatening situations to find him and keep the bail-bondsman from taking their home and putting her, her younger siblings, and mentally-ill mom out in the bone cold winter.
