World Premiere Date of The Artist Set! (continued)
The film will be shown in spectacular 1080p High Definition with accompanying Dolby Digital 5.1 surround-sound mix. The Artist is RiverBend Films' follow-up project to the 2008 critically-acclaimed film The Receipt and features many of the same cast/crew. The Artist stars Matthew Marcus, a University of Virginia theatre student, as the films' hero Alex. Starring opposite Matthew are fellow University of Virginia theatre students Casey Stein (Rebecca) and Russ Hicks (Matthew), and Charlottesville community actors Glenn Aubrey (Jared) and Andrew Todhunter (Dr. Anthony Andrews), along with eighth-grade Charlottesville student Arrietta van der Voort (Alice), who makes her film acting debut. The film co-stars Katie Willis (Claire), Sam Taggart (Thomas), Christopher Moneymaker (Max), and Jacquie Walters (Linda).
The original screenplay of The Artist was written by Matthew Marcus (also the films' leading actor) in 2008. The Artist tells the story of Alex, a college student and avid comic book fan who is entering his final semester of college. As a result of unresolved events in his past, Alex begins to invent a comic-book inspired fantasy wherein one of his professors, Dr. Anthony Andrews, a psychologist, is the architect of the Apocalypse, and Alex, his roommate Matthew, his girlfriend Rebecca, and a homeless man named Jared all play an integral role in thwarting his ambitions to ruin the world. As delusions unravel and realtty sets-in, The Artist becomes a tale of secrets revealed, dreams deferred and renewed, the encapsulating psychological hold that power wields against the powerless, and the discovery of two young adults that deep within each of them there lies a hero waiting to be unleashed upon the world.
