So many movies ... so little time ...
On this day in 2010 (in the United States of America), audiences of the Sedona Film Festival were treated to a work-in-progress edit of Radio Free Albemuth; and this looks to be the very first time the picture enjoyed any theatrical engagement ever.
Based on a story from Philip K. Dick, John Alan Simon both adapted the work and directed the flick. The production starred Jonathan Scarfe, Shea Whigham, Michael Rothhaar, Alanis Morisette, Kathryn Winnick, Scott Wilson, Julie Warner, Hanna Hall, Rosemary Harris, Kelly Hare, and others. Here's the plot summary as provided by our friends at IMDB.com:
"Berkeley record store clerk Nick Brady (Jonathan Scarfe) begins to experience strange visions from an entity he calls VALIS that cause him to uproot his family and move to Los Angeles where he becomes a successful music company executive. With the help of best friend, science fiction writer Philip K. Dick himself (Shea Whigam) and a mysterious woman named Silvia (Alanis Morissette), Nick finds himself drawn into a dangerous political-mystical conspiracy of cosmic proportions. The story is set in an alternate reality America circa 1985 under the authoritarian control of President Fremont, a Nixon-like clone (Scott Wilson)."
As always, thanks for reading ... thanks for sharing ... thanks for being a fan ... and live long and prosper!
