David Arquette and Amy Acker co-star in Brandon Dickerson’s comedy about a couple attempting to get their marriage back on track.
After devastating wildfires swept Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties last month, the Nov. 8-12 Napa Valley Film Festival posted a banner notice on the fest’s homepage that answered a question on many people’s minds: “NVFF17 will go on as scheduled.” NVFF co-founders/directors Marc and Brenda Lhormer followed up with a statement indicating “Our intention is to put on the most memorable and meaningful film festival to date,” along with plans to donate a percentage of festival pass sales revenue to the Napa Valley Community Foundation’s Disaster Relief Fund.
