The tagline for Kenneth Lonergan’s Manchester by the Sea should be: Just walk in the theater, start crying, and never stop. The writer-director’s latest is a simple, well-told story of a man who cannot shake his past. There isn’t a ton of plot — the movie is easily summarized as: a man returns to his hometown after his brother dies and is confronted by memories of his past. But there is a great script, lovely cinematography, great direction, and a slew of richly-drawn characters, with performances that do them justice.
Casey Affleck plays Lee Chandler (“The Lee Chandler?” people in the town of Manchester by the Sea are always asking before we know why he’s notorious), a man who really does not have it together.

Maine-based director Corey Norman will be debuting his first feature, The Hanover House, at the Lewiston Auburn Film Festival in April; and he dropped us a line with more info on the film, including its trailer. Check it out!
Starring Brian Chamberlain and Casey Turner and marking the return of Anne Bobby (Clive Barker's Nightbreed) to the horror genre, The Hanover House is directed by Norman and co-written and produced him and Haley Norman.
Norman told us, "The Hanover House was filmed over the course of 16 days in January and May of 2013 using a Red Epic camera. One thing that sets the production of The Hanover House apart from other haunted house films on the market is the fact that we filmed in an actual haunted house. Built in 1883, this farmhouse, which is located in the mountains of western Maine, has been the home of supernatural phenomena for the last hundred years.
