Hey Des Moines my Midwest made movie "Winter Hymns" is coming to you for a limited engagement at Flix Brewhouse May 17-20
Hi Des Moines, I'm a filmmaker from Wisconsin very interested in making movies right here in the Midwest. "Winter Hymns" is about a palliative care doctor meeting with dying patients and is based on my dad's work. It's been doing really well in Wisconsin so Flix decided to expand it to neighboring states - I'm especially excited about Iowa because my mom's from Elkader and my whole side of the family is there.
It was shot in WI and the entire cast is from the Midwest. I think there's a lot of familiar characters you'll see in this movie that are in both our states - farmers being bought out by giant corporations, young people struggling to raise a family (while also having a terminal illness...). It's a heavy film but so far people have been digging it and I hope you do too! Tickets are at the Flix website.
