Please note: This screening will take place on Monday, July 8 at the Laemmle NoHo 7 theater (previously scheduled for Tuesday, July 9 at the Landmark Sunset theater).

You’re invited to join us for a theatrical screening of Dandelion, with an introduction by writer/director Nicole Riegel followed by an in-person conversation with actor KiKi Layne, moderated by Drea Clark (Artistic Director, Bentonville Film Festival).

Dandelion (KiKi Layne), a struggling Cincinnati singer-songwriter in a downward spiral, takes a last-ditch-effort gig at a motorcycle rally in South Dakota where she meets Casey (Thomas Doherty), a guitarist who walked away from his dream long ago. As Dandelion joins Casey’s nomadic group of struggling musicians, the kindred spirits make music together and strike up a whirlwind romance. The experience moves Dandelion from a narrow view of success to a deeper appreciation of her artistic journey, and the discovery of a voice that is authentically her own.

From IFC Films, Dandelion will be released in theaters on July 12.
