Last night, Proud Citizen premiered at the Riverside International Film Festival in Riverside, California. It will also play at the Portland Film Festival on August 27th and 30th.

Summary:
Krasimira Stanimirova wins second place in a Bulgarian play writing contest. Her award is a trip to the United States—Kentucky to be exact—to see the world premiere of her communist-era, autobiographical play, Black Coat. Expecting to meet with a warm welcome and “southern hospitality”, Krasi instead finds herself isolated and lonely in a hotel off an interstate. Exploring America on foot, Krasi must confront the reality that her play might not be such a big deal in the States. Along the way she slowly finds comfort amongst strangers in this alien world, including a young mother and her son. (source)
