3:40 PM : House of Ashes

Still reeling from a miscarriage, Mia grieves her husband Adam, found dead at the veterinary clinic they owned. She’s been acquitted of Adam’s death, but is under public scrutiny and must serve a house arrest sentence due to living in a state where miscarriage carries heavy punishment. Enter Marc, an old friend who loves and protects Mia. Not long after he moves in, the new couple endure challenges: things go missing and they’re attacked by an unseen force. Mia is sure that the culprit is a supernatural entity, but Marc’s convinced that humans are the problem. A security expert by trade, he installs a home surveillance system to help keep them safe — but soon finds out that this is an issue he can’t fix. Under all these pressures, Mia must call on her buried strength to move on with her life — or risk death herself.

5:45 PM : An Evening with James Adomian

The Chattanooga Film Festival has often brought the world of stand-up comedy into the mix over the years with luminaries like Bobcat Goldthwait and Eddie Pepitone gracing the festival grounds. And this year, during a time when we could all use a few more laughs in our lives, the CFF returns to that tradition with nothing short of one of the world’s greatest living comedians. Whether he’s giving the keynote address to SXSW as the ghost of Orson Welles, breaking bread with the late great Anthony Bourdain, or appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live as My Pillow founder Mike Lindell, actor/comedian James Adomian has truly done it all—and done it hilariously. James’s recent special PATH OF MOST RESISTANCE with its deep reverence for classic cinema and its perfectly crafted bits about everything from airline loyalty programs to the horrors of comedy crowd work is pure magic, and CFF is proud to bring Adomian in for an evening of stand-up and a special screening of filmmaker Hughes Ransom’s brilliant short film SICK DAY which stars James…and lots of locusts.
