The Historian - Trailer Synopsis: Fleeing a personal tragedy and a marriage on the rocks, Dr. Ben Rhodes (Miles Doleac) seeks a fresh start when he accepts a teaching position in the History department at a new university. Reenergized by new faces, a new town and youthful students, he finds himself confronting the burned-out department head, Valerian Hadley (William Sadler). The aging Hadley, is also dealing with his own family issues, caring for his dementia-afflicted father (John Cullum). Unable to conform to the evolving, new world of academia, Henley finds he is loosing his grip, and fighting to rekindle a fading career. When Rhodes arrives, Hadley has a new challenge, to compete with his new younger colleague. He is less then welcoming with Rhodes, and immediately finds himself at odds on a professional level and competing for the attention of his students While Hadley desperately tries to maintain control, the 30 something Rhodes tries to fit. Pleasing Hadley, the dean, and trying to maintain an outward appearance suitable for a university professor proves difficult for Rhodes. This is especially hard when juggling a new personal life and making it through the first-year’s probation. All while maintaining some level of decorum, and avoiding the mental and physical blows of the alpha Hedley who continues to assert his authority. Stars Come Out For Healing The Children & New England Film Premiere and Fundraiser! (January 7, 2015, Bethel, CT) This February 20th, Hollywood comes out to support an important cause and the New England Premiere of The Historian. A feature film starring: William Sadler (Shawshank Redemption, Kinsey, Rockwell, Iron Man 3), John Cullum ( Northern Exposure ), Colin Cunningham (Stargate, The Collector) Glynnis OConnor ( As The World Turns). Hosting the evening are three dynamic Connecticut institutions. The Ridgefield Playhouse is the host venue for all the festivities, which are co-produced by The Connecticut Film Festival and Healing The Children Northeast. All three have joined forces to create an evening of excitement with great thought provoking cinema, a catered VIP Meet n’ Greet reception, a captivating Q&A followed by a live auction MC’d by actor William Sadler and a Sotheby’s auctioneer, and the premiere after party. The Historian is a strong character driven narrative created by one of the new generation of Orson Welles-like independent filmmakers of our time. The film’s creator is Miles Doleac who, like Welles - wrote, produced, directed and acted in the film. The extremely creative Doleac is part of a new group of visual-story tellers. Like most filmmakers, he aspires to open the doors with the big distributors and movie studios for that big break. However Doleac, like many of today’s new filmmakers, is not afraid to go it alone. Especially if it means maintaining integrity and control of the content produced, creating strong and non-formulated thought provoking cinema. The Historian evening will kick-off at 5:30pm when the stars and producers gather for the VIP Meet n’ Greet reception sponsored by Michael Bick’s: Some Things Fishy Catering of Bethel. Passed bites and elixirs will be in order for this fundraising party. The evening’s festivities continue at 7:00pm immediately after welcoming comments. Following the film there will be a Q&A with the producers and cast members. The audience can then participate in the fun and excitement, when actor William Sadler (Healing The Children’s celebrity spokesperson) MC’s a brief auction of several luxury items and services. The auction will then segue to the Premiere After Party in the lobby of the Ridgefield Playhouse for those guests with a VIP, or Film and After Party ticket. Proceeds from the evening’s events will benefit Healing The Children Northeast. Healing The Children Northeast Inc. (located in New Milford) is 501(c)(3), non-profit, non-partisan, volunteer organization. Their purpose is to help children throughout the world receive medical care unavailable to them due to a lack of medical and financial resources or health insurance. 93% of all monetary donations go directly to these services. To date, 48,000 children have been healed through the New Milford office’s efforts. htcne.org The Connecticut Film Festival produces more than 125 annual days and nights of film screenings, industry workshops and panels, weekend festivals, a statewide films series and of course film premieres.
