Crystal Cross - Film Screening + Q&A

**Screening and Q&A with writer/director Richie James Follin** **Saturday, November 14 | 7:00 PM** Join Festival Theaters for *Crystal Cross*, followed by a Q&A with writer/director Richie James Follin. Part road movie, part dark comedy, *Crystal Cross* follows Dotty, an optimistic Christian singer convinced she’s received a sign from God, and James, a grieving father secretly traveling west to end his life. Brought together on a cross-country journey filled with bad decisions and bizarre roadside attractions, the two strangers forge an unlikely friendship that is by turns hilarious, heartbreaking, and redemptive. Shot in desert locations including Joshua Tree and Salvation Mountain, and featuring an original 15-song soundtrack written and performed by Follin’s band Guards, *Crystal Cross* explores faith, grief, and human connection on the American open road.
