If you missed "Loggerheads" at this year's Reel Pride Film Festival last month, you have another chance when the film opens in Royal Oak on Friday, Nov. 11.
Director Tim Kirkman returns to his native North Carolina to weave a tender drama about longing for a family and the challenges of keeping one together. Three stories, all centered around Mother's Day, intertwine to tell a singular tale about the strength of the human heart and the love of family.
Tall and world-weary, a handsome young gay drifter, Mark (Kip Pardue), arrives in a small coastal town to watch over the endangered loggerhead turtles that nest there. He finds a kind smile and a bit of solace in a local motel manager, George (Michael Kelly). Grace (Bonnie Hunt), a Southern woman approaching middle age but still lost in the world, returns to her hometown and a domineering mother to search for the son she gave up for adoption long ago. Elizabeth (Tess Harper), the tight-lipped wife of a conservative, small-town preacher, must decide whether to break with both her husband and the church to do right by her son.
Anchored by nuanced performances, a mature script, and exquisite cinematography, Loggerheads depicts the lives of characters who are ultimately driven by their hearts and souls to deal with the repercussions of their past actions and to make things right again, no matter how difficult.
"Loggerheads" was an Official Selection in the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and the winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Outfest 2005 in Los Angeles.
Loggerheads' opens Nov. 11 in Royal Oak
