SOMEWHERE TONIGHT wins Audience Award at the American Film Festival Wroclaw

November 21, 2011 - Toronto, ON - Congratulations to SOMEWHERE TONIGHT, which won the Audience Award at the American Film Festival in Wroclaw, Poland. The festival announced its winner at the closing night gala on Sunday night.

The film directed by Michael Di Jiacomo; starring John Turturro and Katherine Borowitz, was chosen as best of the 11 features screened in the festival's Spectrum section.

Inspired by slain Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh's
1-900, SOMEWHERE TONIGHT is an urban fable that tells the story of two lonely New Yorkers trying to find companionship over an adult chat phone line. John Turturro plays Wooly, a simple, curiously odd bike messenger hoping to hear a bit of "spicy" talk from Patti (Katherine Borowitz), an Agoraphobic shut-in. Although each is not what the other hopes they will be, together they prove that wisps of enchantment can be found in even the most overlooked of hearts.

The film had its world premiere at the 46th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in July and has continued to mark its presence in the festival circuit.
