Towne Hub Theatre, December 2, 2022, 9pm, American Fork, Utah, USA.
South Jordan, UT, November 26, 2022: The Utah Film Festival recently selected “Marilyn Monroe’s Last Press Conference” for presentation as part of its monthly screening series. The screening, scheduled for December 2, 2022, at the Towne Hub Theatre in American Fork, Utah, USA, is the film’s world premiere. Tickets are currently on sale and can be purchased directly from Town Hub Theatre’s website.
As an independent Utah film, “Marilyn Monroe’s Last Press Conference,” written and directed by Frank H. Cutler, challenges commonly held stereotypes about Marilyn Monroe and President John F. Kennedy. The script was inspired by alleged CIA documents leaked or released recently, and is intended as the premiere episode of a series entitled “Patriots and Conspirators.”
Instead of reinforcing negative and demeaning narratives about Ms. Monroe and Pres. Kennedy, the film weaves an alternative storyline, shedding light on their motivations and goals and how they may have intertwined to promote a noble cause. The film also illustrates the potential source of popular conspiracy theories alleging Ms. Monroe’s death was not an accidental suicide, but rather a carefully orchestrated murder.
The film features an all-Utah cast and crew, including actress Amberjo Pratt, the virtual embodiment of Marilyn Monroe, and Belinda Glenn as Dorothy Kilgallen, an intrepid reporter and confidante of Marilyn’s who, like Marilyn, died under mysterious circumstances. Additionally, Dr. Corey Sondrup plays FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, Dutch Van der Lann plays CIA Director Allen Dulles, Travis B. Smith is Fox Studio mogul Daryl Zanuck, and Jake Ulasich plays U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy.
The film is the pilot episode of a forthcoming series whose theme is to highlight controversial characters—both real and fictional--and their role in popular conspiracy theories. It will feature stories that embody the emotional conflicts and moral dilemmas faced when doing one’s patriotic duty requires extreme actions, seemingly going against acceptable moral standards, or possibly conspiratorial when viewed in light of the Constitution, yet actions that seem like the right thing to do, depending on the viewpoint.
