Q&A with Director and lead actors followed by catered reception

Written, produced and directed by Keith Miller, Welcome to Pine Hill will make its Chicago premiere June 15 at Facets Cinemateque as the Opening Night film of the 10th Annual African Diaspora Film Festival. The film, winner of the Grand Jury Prize Slamdance 2012, follows Shannon Harper, a recently reformed drug dealer working as a claims adjuster by day and bouncer by night who receives earth-shattering news that compels him to make peace with his past and search for freedom beyond the concrete jungle of New York. Developed in collaboration with the Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective, of which director Keith Miller is a part, "Welcome to Pine Hill" is a 2011 Independent Filmmaker Lab participant and Miller's debut feature.

Director Keith Miller and two of the lead actors will be present for a Q/A after the screening.
