Boulder, CO - Around 500 people attended the opening night gala of the Boulder International Film Festival last night (Feb. 11) and were able to watch The Lightkeepers, which was chosen as the opening night film. A wide variety of attendees included filmmakers, celebrities, movie buffs, and locals - some dressed up and some opting for comfort in jeans and sneakers.
Blythe Danner, Daniel Adams, and Straw Weisman were on hand for a Q&A session after the screening. Danner, who is a leading love interest in the film stated about the film and her character:
"It has dimension. It's got humor. She's got backbone. It is a wonderful character, which is unusual. It's not just playing somebody's grandmother."
The Lightkeepers is about a cranky, women-hating lighthouse keeper (Richard Dreyfuss) and his like-minded assistant (Tom Wisdom). When two lovely women (Blythe Danner and Mamie Gummer) rent the nearby cottage for the summer, they struggle to resist the inevitable: Love.
The Lightkeepers is set to release nationwide on March 12 of this year.
