Event
Fred Durst presents his award winning directoral debut film in Sonoma.
Sonoma International Film Society to feature Special Screening
Limp Bizkit front man Fred Durst will personally present his indie film The Education of Charlie Banks at the Sebastiani Theater in Sonoma, California, on December 13 as part of a series of events hosted by the Sonoma International Film Society. The film marks Durst's directorial debut as well as a transitional moment in his explosive career. The feature film, which has received rave reviews, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival where it won the Made in NY Narrative Award, given to the best narrative film made in New York.
In The Education of Charlie Banks, Durst not only demonstrates his keen eye for detail but also a deep sensitivity to the roots of class tension in contemporary American society and he emerges as an introspective filmmaker - one who critics agree is someone to watch. New York Times film critic Jeanette Catsoulis says, "At first glance The Education of Charlie Banks seems a nostalgic coming-of-age drama about facing fears and forming character. But if you narrow your eyes and tilt your head, you'll see quite a different story: a prickly examination of the sturdiness of class boundaries and the illusion of inclusion."
Durst, whose reputation as the bad boy of nu metal, was unrivaled for much of the 1990s. Since then he continues to earn acclaim in the entertainment industry as a performer, singer/songwriter, music producer, actor and film director, and is currently working on a new Limp Bizkit record.
The band Limp Bizkit has sold over 45 million records and their recent worldwide concert tour was received enthusiastically by devoted fans that filled stadiums with capacities of 40 to 50 thousand people.
All proceeds from the Durst film screening on December 13, will go to support the Sonoma International Film Festival and their annual commitment to provide funding for the local high school television, film and media educational program.
General Admission for The Education of Charlie Banks (rated R) with an introduction and wrap up from Fred Durst is $25. For a $75-ticket, attendees will be able to join Durst at a reception prior to the screening. Advance ticket purchase is recommended as the event is anticipated to sell out quickly.
