Starring Amy Acker, Wes Cunningham, Carrie Preston and Tony Hale — SIRONIA is now available to Rent or Buy
kaboom’s feature film SIRONIA, winner of the Austin Film Festival Audience Award and originally released in 2011, is being re-released and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime. Directed by Brandon Dickerson and written by Dickerson, Wes Cunningham and Thomas Ward, the film stars Amy Acker, Tony Hale, Wes Cunningham, Carrie Preston, Robin Lively and Jeremy Sisto.
In SIRONIA, Thomas, an LA-based musician disillusioned by the industry, moves with his wife Molly to a small town Sironia, Texas to live a more authentic life and raise their first child near family. Thomas's resentment over his lost dreams struggles to find peace with his stalled career, until he remembers — his family means more than anything he has given up.
“SIRONIA was a labor of love for everyone who worked on it,” says kaboom EP Lauren Schwartz, who served as one of the film’s three Co-Producers (along with kaboom’s HOP Steve Sills and Producer Laura Smith). “The cast is incredible and the story is deeply relatable for anyone who has a big dream and struggles to understand life’s ups and downs. To have the timeless story once again available to audiences is a joy.”
"I look forward to a broader audience discovering Wes's inspired music and Amy Acker's incredible performance,” says Dickerson. “The talent of the entire cast brings to life the timeless struggle of where we find our value and identity. Working with such a remarkable ensemble on this deeply personal film remains a career highlight for me. I can't wait for audiences to rediscover or experience SIRONIA for the first time.”
SIRONIA is released by Ocean Avenue Entertainment. For more information about kaboom productions, visit www.kaboomproductions.com.
