Cinema Guild has released a new trailer for ‘Hale County This Morning, This Evening,’ which had its World Premiere at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and will hit theaters on Sept. 14 at IFC Center and Bam Rose Cinemas.
Directed, film, edited and written by RaMell Ross, the film composed of intimate and unencumbered moments of people in a community in Alabama’s Black Belt, Hale County This Morning, This Evening offers an emotive impression of the Historic South. Daniel Collins attends college in search of opportunity while Quincy Bryant becomes a father to an energetic son. Creating a poetic form that privileges the patiently observed interstices of their lives, Ross’ film trumpets the beauty of life and consequences of race, while simultaneously existing as a testament to dreaming – despite the odds.
Producers on the film include RaMell Ross, Joslyn Barnes, and Su Kim with Danny Glover, Susan Rockefeller, and the Bertha Foundation onboard as executive producers. Laura Poitras & Charlotte Cook are executive producers for Field of Vision. Maya Krinsky is the co-writer on the film.
RaMell Ross was one of Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film and a New Frontier Artist in Residence at MIT Media Lab in 2015. In 2016 he was a finalist for the Aperture Portfolio Prize, winner of an Aaron Siskind Foundation Individual Photographer’s Fellowship, and a Sundance Art of Nonfiction Fellow. In 2017, he received a Rhode Island Foundation MacColl Johnson artist fellowship. Hale County This Morning, This Evening is his first feature documentary.
