SOMM premier at Napa Valley Film Festival
Organisers have announced that the 2012 Napa Valley Film Festival will showcase the world premiere of the documentary feature film SOMM.
The film follows four young sommeliers as they study for the difficult Master Sommelier exam. The exam covers the pairing of wine and food on a global level.
“Not only is the content a perfect fit for the food and wine-obsessed culture of Napa Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area, but the film itself is a tremendously hilarious, well-executed and compelling thrill ride of a documentary that will appeal to a broad movie-going audience,” says Marc Lhormer, executive director of Napa Valley Film Festival told the Stark Insider website
While the just-completed film has been courted by major international film festivals, SOMM’s filmmakers were unanimous about where it should debut.
Director/Producer Jason Wise said, “Nothing I have ever done has meant more to me than SOMM. For me, there is only one logical place in the world to premiere the film – it had to be where it started, in Napa Valley.”
