Humboldt County

January 9th - January 15th

"Just the type of small film that, if given a chance to be seen by audiences, could become somewhat of a hit for grownups ala "Sideways" or "The Squid and the Whale." — Film Threat

"A slow starter. But what appears to be the cliched 'uptight nerd liberated by flighty sprite' tale--done better in films from 'Bringing Up Baby' to 'Barefoot in the Park'--evolves into something deeper, darker, more resonant." — Chicago Tribune

"...most people will see the movie poster and think oh, that's just a drug movie. But it's not. It's much more." — NEWSVINE

Directors Danny Jacobs and Darren Grodsky assemble an enviable cast--including Fairuza Balk, Peter Bogdanovich, Frances Conroy, Brad Dourif, and Chris Messina--for their first film. Newcomer Jeremy Strong holds his own with the veteran actors, playing Peter Hadley, a man whose one-night stand with Bogart (Balk) ends with him at her family home. At the edge of the continent and on the margins of society is a region of California known to some as "The Lost Coast." It is there, in Humboldt County, that Peter Hadley, a promising yet disillusioned medical student failed by his professor, stumbles upon a remote community of counterculture marijuana farmers and a warmly embracing, yet eccentric family. Humboldt County is a story of the human soul in search of happiness, and the unexpected places we can sometimes call home.. Welcome to Humboldt County, the intoxicating capital of a radical state of mind. 97mins/ 2008/ USA/ R
