Pickford Film Center is proud to host a screening of The Addiction of Hope, an emotionally gripping new drama filmed partially in Bellingham and Whatcom County, on Saturday, June 7 at 1:30 PM. The screening will be followed by an exclusive Q&A with director Martin Gottlieb and star Anne-Marie Johnson.
The Addiction of Hope tells the story of an aging actress who—when her sister gets sick—is forced to examine her choices in life and the importance of family versus fame in a story about having the courage to change your life. Shot across several Bellingham landmarks and neighborhoods, the film highlights the talent and beauty of our region, both on and off the screen.
Tickets are available now at pickfordfilmcenter.org or at the Pickford Film Center box office.
