I'm just getting back from vacation and catching up on stuff I missed. Such as: Heartland Film Festival has announced their closing night film, and it's going to be "Phoebe in Wonderland" starring Elle Fanning (Dakota's little sister), Felicity Huppman, Patricia Clarkson, Bill Pullman and Campbell Scott.
Fanning plays a small girl whose vivid imagination keeps intruding on her troubled real life. With the help of an unorthodox drama teacher, Phoebe begins to find meaning in her daydreams, but that sets up conflict with her hidebound mother.
Check out a preview here:
Tickets are $20 for adults or $15 for students. Go to www.heartlandfilmfestival.org for more info.
Elle Fanning, BTW, was dynamite in "The Door in the Floor," an outstanding movie starring Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger.
And I interviewed Dakota a couple of years back. She seemed like a nice enough girl.
