“Becoming Redwood” will premiere in Vancouver on April 12th at International Village Cinemas with theatrical releases in other Canadian cities to follow.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING:
Young Vancouver actor Ryan Grantham is terrific as the 11-year-old titular character, the quirky Redwood Forest Hanson – Gig City
“It was not a difficult decision for our team to choose Redwood to open the festival,” says Long. “It’s a wonderful film that features strong performances not only from Ryan but from the entire cast.” – EIFF
An original. A winner. See this one. – A Harmless Drudge
Congratulations to my friends on the Redwood crew for their amazing debut at the Edmonton Film Festival and the two sold out showings at VIFF tonight and tomorrow. I had a great time recording the classic Rare Earth song “i Just Want To Celebrate” especially for the film. – Tom Cochrane
13-year-old Ryan Grantham gives a beautifully nuanced performance as Redwood, with Jennifer Copping showing unfeigned vulnerability as Jade. – ReviewVancouver.org
