BAFTA-scholarship winner Bryan Powers’s film, Time is the Longest Distance, featuring actor Andreas Damm (Off the Rails, Oscar Pistorius), is an Official Selection of the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival 2018, and will celebrate its Iowa premiere this week.
A bittersweet tale of an estranged son’s journey to reconnect with his Alzheimer’s stricken father, and an unexpected meeting with a teenaged boy along the way, Time is the Longest Distance conveys the importance of family love and acceptance through the story of three generations of men: thirty-something Adam, his aging father Jack, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, and Xander, a teenaged boy who serendipitously crosses their path. Adam arrives at his father’s nursing home to share news of a major change in his life, hoping to bridge the distance that has opened up between them before Jack’s Alzheimer’s becomes too advanced. While things do not go as planned, Jack’s chance encounter with Xander provides Adam with an unexpected way to find the acceptance he seeks.
Time is the Longest Distance was written and directed by New York City-based Bryan Powers and is a co-production between Powers Productions and Cup of Joe Film, Inc.

“High & Outside : a baseball noir” is Closing Night Film of Julien Dubuque International Film Festival [Trailer]
“High & Outside : a baseball noir” is about a minor league baseball player, Phil Harding, who takes desperate measures to fight off the almost certain end to his dream in the big leagues, which threatens to wreck his already fragile family life. The film is the Closing film at the Julien International Film Festival in Dubuque, Iowa, on Sunday, April 29, 2018, where “Field Of Dreams” was filmed. Moviemaker magazine named it “One of the 25 coolest film festivals in the World.”
High & Outside : a baseball noir has been nominated for Best Screenplay & Film at the prestigious Raindance Film Festival in London & Austin Film Festival and recently at Cinequest Film Festival. The opening to the film was shot at Lewis and Clark Park, home of the real life “Sioux City Explorers” of the American Association Independent Baseball league in Iowa.
It features Golden Globe nominee Geoffrey Lewis in his last starring role as Phil’s domineering father, baseball legend Len Harding. Phil Donlon plays his son, Phil Harding. Joining them is Ernie Hudson (Grace & Frankie) as Phil’s manager, Lindsey Haun (True Blood) as Phil’s wife, Jason Richter (Free Willy) as Phil’s best friend, David Yow (The Jesus Lizard) as Lewis’ caregiver, Eddie Jemison (Chicago Med) as Sal, and David Proval (Everyone Loves Raymond) as Don.
“High & Outside” is Director Evald Johnson’s second feature. Johnson comes from non-scripted TV, along with Producers John Cook and Ellen Philips. Johnson grew up the son of his once beloved and then befallen MLB father Tim Johnson, which inspired “High & Outside : a baseball noir.” Dan O’Dair wrote the screenplay. Music score by Alexander Hacke.
