Geena Davis Lauds Bentonville Film Festival for ‘Staying True’ to Its Roots While Spotlighting Local Arkansas Production
Bentonville Film Festival chair Geena Davis praises the Arkansas event for “staying true” to its roots while spotlighting local Arkansas production
Among those include the Danielle Deadwyler-led thriller “40 Acres,” topical Sundance documentary “Heightened Scrutiny” and opening night selection “East of Wall,” directed by Kate Beecroft. While major hubs like Los Angeles have struggled in recent years with record-low production rates, states like Arkansas will have to increase incentives to become more competitive. But out of all the events and stars like Mimi Rogers, Betsy Brandt and Elmo expected to be in attendance, Davis is most looking forward to her long-standing tradition “Geena and Friends” where she, along with other female actors, act out all-male scenes from popular movies.
