The Rivals of Amziah King (with Filmmaker Q+A)

Join us for a special screening featuring a post-film Q&A with writer/director Andrew Patterson after the screening. Film Synopsis: Amziah King is the unofficial mayor of his rural Oklahoma community. Southern charm personified, he works as an apiarist but spends his spare time jamming out bluegrass tunes with his ragtag group of buddies and hosting potluck lunches. When his former foster daughter, Kateri, suddenly reappears in his life, Amziah seizes the opportunity to reconnect; but his plans to teach her his trade hit a roadblock when his beekeeping rivals put the family business at risk. The Rivals of Amziah King was shot in the Birmingham metropolitan area in 2023, made with the hard work of many local and state artists and crewmembers. The Sidewalk Cinema is thrilled to host the homecoming of this long-awaited film.
