¸We are honored to be part of AARP’s April 2021 Movies for Grownups program. Each month AARP screens four films. Gatsby in Connecticut will be featured in the same month as Best Picture Oscar winner Parasite.
For those trying to find Gatsby in Connecticut on Amazon Prime in the US & Canada, we were recently taken down despite great reviews and over 85,000 people watching it there. Robert Steven Williams, the director of Gatsby in Connecticut was asked by the International Documentary Association to write a piece about what had happened for the entire independent filmmaker community, apparently thousands of films were taken down by Amazon, who have opted to change their policy toward independent film. You can read the entire piece HERE.
Gatsby in Connecticut is still available on a variety of digital platforms and cable outlets, and you can find them below. The distributor for the film is working on a US broadcast deal now, as well as deals for a many countries, and as soon as we know more, we’ll announce it.

Director, Robert Steven Williams, receives the award from the Mystic Film Festival for Best New England film for 2020.
“In a difficult year for so many, it was an honor to receive this award from the Mystic Film Festival. The team there braved the virus and hosted an actual event with live screenings carefully structured to keep everyone safe.”
Williams adds, “The film resonates with many at a time when folks need a break from politics and the pandemic. Gatsby in Connecticut is a seventy-minute journey back in time to 1920, when Scott and Zelda celebrated their honeymoon and the seeds of The Great Gatsby were sown.”

Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story will screen at the International Virtual Market this year in Cannes. Represented by Alex Nohe of Blood, Sweat & Honey, we recently signed a worldwide distribution deal with Los Angeles based Vision Films.
For the past two months the team at Gatsby in Connecticut and Against the Grain Productions have hosted a series of Fitzgerald webinars featuring world-renowned scholars as well as Scott and Zelda’s great granddaughter, Blake Hazard. The series was co-sponsored by Scribner Books and the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society. Nearly $4,000 was raised in the process for Feeding America.
Three of the four webinars were recorded and can be viewed here:
Zelda Fitzgerald: Dancer. Painter. Writer
Look for more webinars in August, but for now, we’re going to catch our breath and recharge our own jets. We hope that soon we can find ways to heal, love and fix what’s broke.
Be well. Be strong.
