Since our premiere at the Wisconsin Film Festival last month, our WI film "Winter Hymns" has been gaining some momentum and selling out in Madison and expanding around the state

Hey - maybe some of you have seen/heard about this already, and we're very appreciative! We're honestly really blown away. Flix Brewhouse in Madison started playing the film and packing shows and extended it a week - and just extended it another weekend (5/16-5/17).

The film is about a palliative care doctor (played by APT's Colleen Madden) as she meets with a series of dying patients on a snowy Wisconsin day. Also in the cast is Tara Mallen (Ghostlight), Brian Huskey (Bob's Burgers), and Chike Johnson (Chicago PD).

We're also starting weeklong runs this weekend around the state, and a big screening at the Oriental in Milwaukee next month with Milwaukee Film. Flix is also picking up the film and moving it out of state to Iowa and Indiana.

Again thank you thank you THANK YOU to anyone who's seen it. It's a little movie but we think a special one. There's more info on our website if you want to see if it's playing near you

Sorry to write you guys yet again but for a 3rd time my Wisconsin Film Festival film "Winter Hymns" has been extended at Flix Brewhouse through the weekend

Thank you to everyone who's been supporting the film!! This is amazing. Flix just added more shows this weekend after we were supposed to finish on Wednesday. If you would like to come eat chicken wings and enjoy a thoughtful meditation on life and death made right here in Wisconsin, this weekend's your last chance:

Hey Indianapolis my Midwest made movie "Winter Hymns" is coming to you for a limited engagement at Flix Brewhouse in Carmel May 17-20

Hi Indianapolis, somebody in the Carmel subreddit told me to post this here as well - I'm a filmmaker from Wisconsin very interested in making movies right here in the Midwest. I can see you don't like self/art promotion in the sub rules but hopefully this can be one of the exceptions if you'll let me - people have been really connecting with this film if they hear about it.

"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 excited about it coming to Indiana to see if you connect with it as much as Wisconsin audiences.

The movie 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 very unique and so far people have been digging it and I hope you do too! Tickets are at the Flix website.

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...).

Like the title - this film premiered at the Wisconsin Film Festival just less than a month ago, and since then things have been snowballing. Really excited by the reception we've got so far because audiences in Madison and Wisconsin were exactly who I wanted to reach with this film. You can read more about it at Isthmus or check out our website but I hope you can check us out and support a local film!
