The Dallas International Film Festival starts this week, bringing to Big D another eclectic mix of awesome movies you can see before they go into wide release anywhere else. One of the most-anticipated entries is Diego Luna’s MR. PIG, starring Danny Glover (LETHAL WEAPON). Bigfanboy.com has partnered with DIFF to giveaway 15 pairs of seats for the special screening Sunday afternoon at 4:45pm at the Angelika Theater in Mockingbird Station – director Diego Luna will be in attendance. If you’re interested in attending, just send us an email with “I want to see MR. PIG” in the subject line. Winners will be notified by email Saturday evening. Please do not enter unless you’re sure you can go, as we wouldn’t want to take seats away from someone else. Multiple entries will be discarded, just enter once by email. If the email link doesn’t work, send your request to hotfishstudios [at] hotmail.com – all entries should be received by 8pm on Saturday, April 16th.
Eubanks (Danny Glover), an old-school pig farmer from Georgia on the brink of losing his family farm, sets off on a road trip with Howard, his beloved and very large pig. As they make their way across the border to Mexico to find “Howie” a new home, Eubanks’s drinking and deteriorating health begin to take a toll, derailing their plans. His estranged daughter, Eunice (Maya Rudolph), is forced to join them on their adventure. Driven by strong convictions and stubbornness in his old ways, Eubanks attempts to make peace through his devotion to Howie and desire to mend his broken relationships.
