About the Production
SYNOPSIS: Kate Montgomery's film is a lighthearted tale that features an almost
entirely Native American cast, and a refreshing take on tribal culture. Ray
(Tim Vahle, Choctaw), the overly conscientious manager of his tribe's new luxury
resort, finds that an anonymous critic has booked a suite for the holidays.
Determined to get a good review, Ray has his work cut out for him. His chef
(Graham Greene) doesn't want to cook meat, his loyal assistant (Sheila Tousey)
is distracted by a particularly juicy romance novel, his handyman (Jonathan
Joss) is busy flirting with the ski bunnies, his housekeeping staff has decided
to turn the hotel into a daycare center and his father (a retired chief) just
wants to win the Jeep Cherokee at the Christmas bingo. When a beautiful and
mysterious young woman (Mariana Tosca) arrives from New York, she's mistaken for
the critic, while the real one (M. Emmett Walsh) encounters one problem after
the next. The film, which is releasing in theaters starting November 4, 2005,
is a classic screwball comedy worthy of Howard Hawks and Frank Capra.
QUOTES AND ENDORSEMENTS
"We have had the honor of selling more than 60 million copies of our book and I
encourage each one of our readers to see Christmas in the Clouds. It is chicken
soup for the movie watcher's soul. It will leave you feeling better about
yourself -- and the world in general," Barry Spilchuck, Author, Chicken Soup for
the Soul
"This sweet-spirited comedy nimbly defies a number of categories. It's set on
an Indian reservation with a predominantly American Indian cast, but is by no
means a generic or preachy ethnic movie." Daily Variety
"I love this film! It's funny. It's poignant. It's totally unforgettable.
Graham Greene's portrayal of the Chef is a standout. He is absolutely
hilarious." Jan Wahl, KRON TV, San Francisco.
We look forward to seeing you at the event.
