July 5, 2017 For Immediate Release SHARON VAN ETTEN SCORES FIRST FEAUTURE FILM, STRANGE WEATHER, IN THEATERS JULY 28TH Starring Holly Hunter, Carrie Coon, Kim Coates and Glenne Headly Written and Directed by Katherine Dieckmann Official Selection, Toronto International Film Festival Official Selection, Hamptons International Film Festival Official Selection, Provincetown International Film Festival WATCH TRAILER HERE Screeners available on request. “The authentic-feeling Southern ambience, enhanced by Sharon Van Etten's low-key, country-inflected score, is one of the film's most potent assets” -- Hollywood Reporter Sharon Van Etten continues her foray into film and television with the original score for her first feature film, Strange Weather, in theaters July 28th. This follows Van Etten’s acting debut in Netflix’s The OA and her performance of “Tarifa” in Twin Peaks: The Return, both of which “draw on Van Etten’s music as well as her presence . . . At its most powerful, her music evokes the risky, shaky moment when a secret is exposed” (The Cut).
