Written and Directed by Vera Farmiga
Vera Farmiga’s directorial debut, Higher Ground, depicts the landscape of a tight-knit spiritual community thrown off-kilter when one of their own begins to question her faith. Inspired by Carolyn S. Briggs’ memoir, This Dark World (screenplay by Carolyn S. Briggs and Tim Metcalfe & Carolyn S. Briggs), the film tells the story of a thoughtful woman’s struggles with belief, love, and trust in human relationships as well as in God. Eventually giving herself over to a radical New Testament church. Amidst her community of self-described “Jesus Freaks,” Carolyn’s daily life consists of hours of Bible study, alternative family practices and bracing for the oncoming Rapture.
Vera Farmiga told us in an interview for GalaTView: “Honestly to be in this project was like being at school. Having a family is a huge responsibility; she wants to have a version of her own family when she was a child. In our imagination we might have many things about a good marriage, so knowledge’s person is different so religion is becoming in an issue for her marriage begins to unravel that Carolyn dares to question the religious dogma she has embraced for her entire adult life. In this case she has to explore many roads like the emotional road, spiritual road, and reflection is a good point to discuss in this movie.”

Danny DeVito received on August 18th the 2,445th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in los Angeles C.A., honoring a career that started slow but ultimately turned him into a success both in front of and behind the camera.
The ceremony was held in connection with the Sept. 13 release of the DVD of the sixth season of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” the FX comedy in which DeVito co-stars as the ne’er-do-well co-owner of a Philadelphia bar.
Putting a new twist on the tradition of having the honoree be the first person to step on the sidewalk star, DeVito took off a shoe and sock stood on his star with one bare foot.
DeVito’s first high-profile role was as the caustic dispatcher Louie De Palma on “Taxi,” which ran on ABC from 1978-82 and NBC in the 1982-83 season. DeVito received four Emmy nominations as outstanding supporting actor in a comedy or variety series, winning the award in 1981.
DeVito’s film credits include “Batman Returns” as the Penguin; “Romancing the Stone,” “The Jewel of the Nile” and “The War of the Roses” with his longtime friend Michael Douglas; “Twins” and “Junior” opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger; “Terms of Endearment”; “Ruthless People”; “Tin Men”; “Hoffa”; and “Matilda.”
He directed “Throw Momma from the Train”; “The War of the Roses”; “Hoffa”; “Matilda”; “Death to Smoochy”; and “Duplex.”
DeVito’s movie producing credits include best picture nominee “Erin Brockovich”; “Pulp Fiction”; “Get Shorty”; “Man on the Moon”; “Gattaca”; and “Garden State.” From 2006-2010, he appeared on 63 episodes of TV series “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” as character “Frank Reynolds.”
