The stars of Clutter, written and co-produced by Paul Marcarelli. The story revolves around county health inspectors giving the Bradford family one week to clean its dangerously horded family home, during which "long-buried resentments, fears, and grief begin to come to the surface, forcing the entire family to face what it is they value most in life."

Guilford's own Paul Marcarelli, creator of the The Green, a multi-award-winning indie movie filmed right here in town, invites film fans to a special June 30 screening event for his latest film, Clutter.

It's the Connecticut premiere for Clutter, taking place on the closing night of the Connecticut Film Festival at Old Saybrook's Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center. Two years ago, many Guilford supporters were on hand when the same festival threw an amazing catered event for Marcarelli and company as they premiered The Green-and took home the award for Best Feature Film.

Clutter is a Table Ten Films production, in association with Fulcrum Media Group. The

June 30 event will include a Q&A with Marcarelli and the other filmmakers (including his business partner, Connecticut native Molly Pearson) immediately following the screening, and a reception with passed hors d'oeuvres, beer, and wine deliciously furnished by Some Things Fishy.

Clutter stars Oscar-nominated actress Carol Kane (who also returns to Broadway July 1 to reprise her role as Madame Morrible in Wicked), Natasha Lyonne (best known as Jessica in the American Pie films and star of Netflix Orange is the New Black, streaming in July), Joshua Leonard (The Blair Witch Project, with recent roles including those in HBO's Hung, True Detectives, and Showtime's United States of Tara), and Kathy Najimy (acclaimed indie actress, with recent HBO roles including those in Mildred Pierce and Bored to Death). Marcarelli wrote Clutter, which he co-produced with Pearson. Diane Crespo directs.

Clutter had its world premiere in June during the closing weekend of the prestigious The New American Cinema Competition at Seattle International Film Festival, a distinction shared by just 10 other films out of more than 400 at the month-long festival, said Marcarelli. The Connecticut screening on June 30 also marks the film's East Coast premiere.

Tickets to the June 30 Clutter film screening and after party, $30, can be purchased by calling 877-503-1286 or by visiting www.thekate.org (click on events). Doors open at 6 p.m., followed at 7 p.m. by the film and Q&A, and reception from 9 to 10:30 p.m.
