Overflow Crowd at Encore Screening

More than 90 people turned out last night to see an encore screening of “GORK!” – nearly twice the capacity of Room A at the Iowa City Public Library, the event’s venue. The film received such a fantastic reception at the 5th Annual Landlocked Film Festival last month that the festival organizers wanted to provide audiences another opportunity to see it.

GORK! turns a spotlight on the outrageous, charismatic, and perplexing Adam Terrill, his challenges and disabilities, and his impact on the dynamic of his 7-member family.

After the screening, Adam’s brother Roman led a lively Q&A, where several topics were covered, including ways in which this film might be used as an educational tool and as an instrument for advocacy.

“I’m glad to have finally gotten a chance to see this wonderful, funny, honest and touching documentary.”
Mary Blackwood, President & Festival Director, Landlocked Film Festival

“Enjoyed viewing Gork tonight! Incredibly powerful and moving. Roman did a great Q&A too. Thank you for letting our community into your family.” Jill Dodds, Simple Abundance Child Care, Coralville, IA
