FILM FEST KNOX Award Winner to Have Theatrical Release

“Mountains has loomed large since we caught it at TIFF,” said Brian Andreotti, Head of Acquisitions for Music Box Films. “It’s the kind of truly independent American film that we love to support and elevate at Music Box Films: it’s a portrait of a particular family in a specific community, but that human-scaled drama illuminates issues of gentrification and displacement that impact neighborhoods across the country.
