By Craig Manning | Aug. 31, 2023

Traverse City’s Practical Films announced on Thursday morning that it will be screening its locally-made feature film, Quicksand, at numerous theaters around the state throughout the month of September, starting with a showing at TC’s own City Opera House next Thursday, September 7. That screening starts at 7pm, and tickets are on sale on the City Opera House website now.

The rest of the calendar of showings is as follows:

Practical Films made Quicksand, described as a “bromantic comedy about two friends perilously navigating life post-college,” in the fall of 2019, with much of the movie made in and around Traverse City. The film has since screened at a variety of film festivals in Michigan and beyond, including last summer’s Traverse City Film Festival.

Practical announced earlier in August that it had signed with a distributor to get Quicksand out into the world, including a release on Apple TV on September 19. September's series of Michigan theatrical screenings is a part of that distribution strategy. Practical is also currently raising funds to help bolster the distribution of the film.
