Newport Beach Film Festival-Ella Purnell in "Wildlike"
Come see Ella Purnell in her new movie "Wildlike" at the Newport Beach Film Festival!
Mackenzie, a doe-eyed 14-year-old with tousled hair, torn clothes, and too much black eyeliner played by Ella Purnell, is sent to live with her thirty-something uncle (Brian Geraghty) in Juneau, Alaska. Surrounded by vast forests, picturesque mountains, and spectacular waters, Juneau might provide an ideal retreat for this troubled teen, coping with the recent death of her father and current absence of her mother. Still, something is just not right. When her uncle crosses a line, Mackenzie makes a hasty getaway. But, in a city unreachable by road, finding an escape route to her hometown of Seattle is nearly impossible. Mackenzie must rely upon the help of reluctant strangers for any chance at survival, including a lonesome and crotchety hiker played by Bruce Greenwood who is suffering from demons of his own. Together they reconcile their circumstances while traveling across America’s last frontier. Frank Hall Green’s suspenseful drama WILDLIKE features compelling performances set against the breathtaking Alaskan wilderness.
See it Sunday April 26, at 7:15pm & Tuesday April 28 at 2:15
