“Three Days of Rain
Coachella Valley Premiere


Special Guests:  Writer and Director, MICHAEL MEREDITH

Actor and Writer, KIRK HARRIS (Founder of Rogue Arts)





THREE DAYS OF RAIN is based on the short stories of celebrated Russian writer, Anton Chekov with a great cast that includes Peter Falk, Blythe Danner, Don Meredith, Erick Avari and Lyle Lovett.   Michael Meredith has woven together a half-dozen portraits of contemporary lives-on-the-edge during a three day rainstorm in Cleveland, Ohio.  
The soundtrack features the smooth jazz of Bob Belden.  The film had a festival run which included stops at Berlin, Tribecca, Method Fest, Montreal and Moscow Film Festivals.

“"Three Days of Rain" belongs to the now-familiar genre of overlapping tales of urban desperation staked out by Robert Altman in "Short Cuts" and seen most recently in Paul Haggis's "Crash"...Above all an actor's movie....Falk, revisiting Cassavetes territory, is a charmer with exactly the right amount of vulnerbility below the bluster....Written and directed with great delicacy by young Mr. Meredith....A thoughtful film about isolation and seperation"
- Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
