Quote:
"Since one of the backers was the owner of 49 per cent of a theatre circuit, he saw to it that The Far Shore was booked into his houses. Normally, the circuits favor American product. Although the initial response was excellent, the distributor took the film out of Canadian release because of a dispute regarding a lab bill. Ray Blanco, head of Bauer International in Somerville, N.J., saw the film at Cannes and fell in love with it. Playdates have been lined up in New England and in Houston, San Diego and Santa Fe, with Ms. Wieland participating in the promotion."
