I saw an indie movie preview recently, but forgot the name of the movie?

Asked by hTownDude (178points) December 19th, 2008

I saw a preview before I watched Synechdode new york at my local theater. It had no music and was mostly silent, and seemed to focus on a black family living in a rural area. It appeared to have gained critical acclaim from a few film festivals already. Does anyone know what movie this is?

Sounds like Sounder, but that’s from the 70s..

No idea, what what did you think of “Synecdoche, New York”?!?

It was alright. Lets just try to stick to the question to prevent from derailing it.

Was it with Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, Queen Latifah, Sophie Okonedo and Dakota Fanning?

Then it’s The Secret Life of Bees

Sorry aprilsmnel, it wasn’t with any big name actors. It appears to be a very low budget indie film.

I can also add that the preview began with a small black child running through a field as birds flew around.

Huh. You got me, then.

If you call the movie theater and ask to speak to the booth manager, or the general manager, they can tell you what previews were placed in front of any film that was shown. Just play nice, they’ll tell you. We got a lot of those calls when I worked for a theater.
