“Tense, moody…roiling undercurrents lend it a resemblance to WINTER’S BONE and FROZEN RIVER. – Stephen Holden, The New York Times

Post-Film Q&A with Director Kimberly Levin!

The beauty of the land cannot mask the brutality of a farm town. As harvest draws near, Betty confronts a terrifying new reality and will go to desperate lengths to save her family when they are threatened from their land. An old friend, struggling to keep his own farm profitable by any means necessary-offers Betty a way out. Betty must decide what lines she’ll cross and who she’s willing to sacrifice. In an “impressive directorial debut” (Stephen Holden, The New York Times), director/writer Kimberly Levin creates a gripping story filmed entirely on working farms in her native Kentucky. “This is a film about the interconnectedness of all things—nature, civilization, families, cities…” (Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert). “If you want to be able to say you were there when a great American filmmaker’s career kicked off, you need to see RUNOFF.”
