HIGH THERE wins Viewers’ Choice Award at Cannabis Film Festival
Humboldt County, the epicenter of pot culture, embraces reality comedy
HOLLYWOOD (MAY 4) -- HIGH THERE, the nonfiction
comedy film directed by and starring "gonzo" television pioneer Wayne
Darwen, has won the prestigious Viewers’ Choice Award at the first annual Cannabis
Film Festival in Humboldt County, California.
The festival took place in the town of Garberville,
at the epicenter of what is known as the marijuana farming capital of the
world. The award Sunday morning bestowed
High There with a seal of approval from the heart of the pot subculture.
“High There really defined the festival,” said
executive director Stephen Quiggle. “All
everyone talked about was High There, High There. People loved it.”
The film’s producer Burt Kearns announced at the festival
that High There will be released on DVD and On Demand across North America by
BRINKvision on June 23rd.
High There is a dark nonfiction comedy following
Darwen in the guise of journalist-producer "Dave High," who heads to Hawaii
to film a marijuana travel series, only to become lost in a fog of drugs, sex
and paranoia as he uncovers a government plot to control the marijuana trade.
High There was written by Darwen and directed by
Darwen and cinematographer Henry Goren (who costars as “Roland Jointz”).
Darwen is a veteran tabloid journalist and
television producer who was the inspiration for Robert Downey Jr.'s character
in "Natural Born Killers," has been compared to Hunter S. Thompson
and is credited as a godfather of both tabloid television and "gonzo
producing."
High There is produced by Sam Peters International
Productions Unlimited, Good Story Productions and Rat Lung Pictures.
BRINKvision is known as "the last real independent film distribution company."
