Premieres Wednesday, September24th at 8:15pm followed by encore presentations at 10:00pm and 11:45pm
Starring Jeremy Strong, Fairuza Balk, Peter Bogdanovich
Directed and Written by Darren Grodsky and Danny Jacobs
At the edge of the continent and on the margins of society is a region of California known to some as "The Lost Coast." It is
there, in HUMBOLDT COUNTY, that Peter Hadley (Jeremy Strong) – a promising yet disillusioned medical student failed by
his professor (Peter Bogdanovich) – stumbles upon a remote community of counterculture marijuana farmers and a warmly
embracing, yet eccentric family played by Frances Conroy, Fairuza Balk, Chris Messina, Brad Dourif, and newcomer Madison
Davenport.
From directors Darren Grodsky and Danny Jacobs, who also co-wrote the screenplay, HUMBOLDT COUNTY is a story of the
human soul in search of happiness, and the unexpected places we can sometimes call home.
