he NYFCS® has partnered with movie theater locations throughout the U.S. to present live, national, in-theater screenings. The events are moderated by Peter Travers, film critic for Rolling Stone Magazine, and ABC's Popcorn, along with additional coverage by Alison Bailes of More Magazine, WOR Radio, and The Charlie Rose Show. The series presents interactive, in-theater; pre-release movies and big screen HD simulcast with the stars and filmmakers.

In AT MIDDLETON, Andy Garcia and Vera Farmiga star as straight-laced George and eccentric Edith, two strangers who meet on their children's campus tour at the idyllic Middleton College. Failing comically to connect with their kids, George and Edith play hooky together, ditching the official tour for a carefree adventure reminiscent of their own college years. But what begins as an afternoon of fun soon becomes a revealing and enlightening experience that will change their lives forever. A light-hearted romance for adults on the surface, AT MIDDLETON is a deeply moving portrait of roads not taken and the timelessness of youth.

The film's supporting cast includes Vera Farmiga's real-life sister, Taissa Farmiga ("American Horror Story"), Spencer Lofranco (JAMESY BOY), Peter Riegert ("Dads," ANIMAL HOUSE), Tom Skerritt ("Picket Fences," A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT), Nicholas Braun (THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER), and newcomers Daniella Garcia-Lorido and Stephen Borrello.

Adam Rodgers directed from a script co-written with Glenn German. German also produced alongside Garcia through Garcia's production company CineSon and Sig Libowitz under his Look at the Moon banner. Raul Pedraza executive produced along with Brad Harland of North by Northwest Entertainment, Ellen Wander of Film Bridge International, and Sonya Lunsford (THE HELP). The film score was composed by multiple-Grammy® award-winner Arturo Sandoval. AT MIDDLETON will be in theaters, On Demand and available on iTunes on January 31, 2014.

Up until now, live talent has only been accessible to the public in New York, Los Angeles and at Festivals. Now everyone throughout the country can enjoy up close and personal moments from major movie stars, producers, writers and directors in the comfort of their own neighborhood theaters. Regional preview screenings are happening all the time, but never with a live, talent conversation component. This is a comprehensive, industry wide turn-key marketing tool complete with robust media and in-theater assets to 400+ screens.

A regular series of ongoing preview screenings is established in 50 selected major markets. Audiences experience all of the excitement of live Q&A sessions, hosted by Peter Travers. The big screen events deliver 9-13 curated pre-release films per year to discerning audiences on a monthly basis. Each movie in the Screening Series is introduced live by Peter Travers. Audiences then see the best movies prior to their release followed by live, HD Q&A between Travers, audiences and talent from the films. Each piece brings the energy and VIP nature of prestigious NYC screenings for nationwide audiences to interact with stars and directors via two way simulcast. The Series is never available on the internet or on TV.
