The Catskill Chronicle

LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY (February 10, 2012) – The road from shooting a film to the world premiere is long, arduous and filled with potholes. Or in this case, it’s filled with rumblestrips.

A free screening of “Rumblestrips” at the Seelig Theatre at SUNY Sullivan will be Wednesday, February 15 at 6:30 p.m.

Directed by and featuring John Adams “Rumblestrips” stars Toby Poser (Adams) who has appeared on stage, screen and television (Guiding Light, Law and Order, Sex in the City…) and the Adams’ daughters LuLu and Zelda.

“Rumblestrips” – those raised bumps on the road that make a loud, jarring vibration when an inattentive driver drifts off course or needs to slow down – is a fictional narrative about a foolish but well-meaning mother whose life has drifted off center. It’s the unwavering devotion of her two young daughters that leads her back within the lines.

Told as a personal narrative from Toby’s and each of her young daughters’ points of view, it’s a tale of how this family navigates loss and love when the mother they rely upon may soon be taken away from them. Broke and emotionally blistered after the death of her husband, Toby has turned to a beloved pastime, growing marijuana, to provide for her family. When she is arrested and convicted, she packs up the RV and takes her two young daughters on a road trip while uneasily awaiting sentencing.

“Rumblestrips” has not been rated. It is geared towards mature audiences.
