Directed by Thomas Southerland, Proud Citizen stars Katerina Stoykova-Klemer as Krasimira Stanimirova, a Bulgarian playwright who won second place in a play-writing contest and finds out that Kentucky (and the US, for that matter) is not what she had expected. The film also contains the work of local artists, such as music producer Otto Helmuth, and features acting from Natalie E. Cummins, Leif Erickson, Ryan Case, and others.

Tickets are available now at the Kentucky Theatre, or you can get them online by clicking here.

The film starts at 7:30pm, but Kremena Todorova and JD Lester are having a potluck starting at 6:30 at the Kentucky Theatre, so bring something and get a chance to meet the cast and crew.

Proud Citizen Lexington Premiere

proudcitizenrevlaurels2Proud Citizen, a feature-length film shot almost entirely in Lexington with a local cast, will make its Lexington premiere on January 15th, 2015 at 7:30 at the Kentucky Theater. Tickets are $6.00.

After winning second place in a play writing contest, Bulgarian Krasimira Stanimirova travels to the rolling hills of Kentucky for the premiere of her autobiographical, Communist-era play Black Coat. Expecting southern hospitality, Krasi instead finds herself isolated and lonely as she explores America on foot. Proud Citizen is a funny, sometimes heartbreaking meditation on disappointment, traveling, the comfort of strangers and the joy of funnel cakes.

Directed by Thom Southerland and featuring Katerina Stoykova-Klemer in the lead role, the film has gathered awards such as “Best of the Fest” and “Best Narrative Feature” and “Audience Favorite” from New Orleans Film Festival, River’s Edge International Film Festival, Knoxville Film Festival, and others.
