BIG NEWS FROM GRAND ROCK
Dir: Daniel Perlmutter 87 mins
Cast: Ennis Esmer, Peter Keleghan, Leah Pinsent, Aaron Ashmore, Kristin Booth, Gordon Pinsent
Leonard Crane is desperate to save his small-town newspaper. Readership and advertising is at an all-time low as more and more locals, with the notable exception of Leonard’s scatterbrained staff, move into the digital age.
With unemployment on the horizon and the paper about to be sold for scrap to a media conglomerate, Leonard looks to some old movies for escape — and instead finds a wealth of potential news stories that could pull readers back to print.
The plagiarism plan starts to pay off, until a fake headline attracts the attention of ambitious big-city reporter Lucy, who exposes the ruse. When Leonard discovers that one of his phony scoops may actually be true, he enlists Lucy’s help to save the town, the newspaper, and his own tattered reputation.
