The Mountain Minor movie poster

A new dramatic film about the history of Appalachian music, by a Southwest Ohio
filmmaker, is starting to attract attention after winning top awards at several film
festivals.
Screenwriter and director Dale Farmer will conduct a Q&A, following the screening of
“The Mountain Minor” at the Athena Cinema in Athens on February 6. The screening will also include a live musical performance by Wright, Hamilton, Hoffman and Beard.  “The Mountain Minor” follows five generations of an Appalachian family, beginning in the1930s, dramatizing how mountain music spread to other parts of the country. It is loosely based on the true story of Farmer’s own family, who moved from Eastern
Kentucky to Cincinnati, looking for work during the Great Depression.

“The Mountain Minor” will be shown at the Athena Cinema 20 S Court St, Athens, OH
45701, on Thursday, February 6, at 7:00 p.m. Following the screening, there will be a
Q&A with writer/director Dale Farmer. Wright, Hamilton, Hoffman and Beard will perform
before the screening. For ticket information, visit http://athenacinema.com or call (740)
