A Bread Factory: Part One: Directed by Patrick Wang. With Tyne Daly, Elisabeth Henry, James Marsters, Shershah Mizan. After 40 years of running their community arts space, The Bread Factory, Dorothea and Greta are suddenly fighting for survival when a celebrity couple–performance artists from China–come to Checkford and build an enormous complex down the street catapulting big changes in their small town.

“My gosh, this is a beautifully strange one. The consistency within its presentation and performances. The sudden u0026quot;wait, wtf did they just do with the… whateveru0026quot; moments. The representation of the overwhelming problems of youth. The curious length of conversations that I could not help but wonder the necessity of. Yu0026#39;all, this is not a typical film deserving a wide theatrical release. What would fit its u0026quot;selfu0026quot; is being screened with a crowd of people curious to experience this beautiful humorous butterfly the way it should be–with a live audience. Like Hausu (1977)-but not that weird-and others after it, this factory of bread feels like something unmeant to be experienced alone.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enFavorite Characters:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e1) Jordan.
