So begins a clip from the forthcoming feature film "Little Pink House," the picture about the Kelo v. New London case. A phrase that many of us are familiar with, no doubt.
Those of you who are following along with the film remember that even before it was completed, we interviewed its producer, Ted Balaker, at the 2016 Austin ALI-CLE Eminent Domain Conference. Based on Jeff Benedict's 2009 book, Little Pink House: A True Story of Defiance and Courage, the film stars Catherine Keener (Capote) as Susette Kelo and Jeanne Tripplehorn (The Firm, Basic Instinct) as the head of the New London Redevelopment agency. Ted gave us an inside look at the film (which had completed principal filming, but was not yet edited), brought some photos from the set, and gave us a preview of what the film covers.
Now that the movie is completed (it will be released in theaters nationwide in 2018), Ted and his team have kindly allowed us to preview it at the upcoming ALI-CLE Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation Conference in Charleston, SC, January 25-27, 2018.
We will also have in attendance some of the real-life players in the Kelo drama, and will be providing details on how you can bring a screening of the film to your local cinema.
Sign up and join us at the Conference for a little slice of art imitating life.
