Sophie, a young volunteer, meets her kindred spirit in Roxie, a girl with a life threatening medical condition and a unique wish to FIND Bigfoot.

Local Film to Begin Charity Screenings
A Wish for Giants, an independent feature film by award-winning filmmaker Don Swanson based on the novel by Aaron Dunbar, will begin its run of charity screenings to benefit Make-A-Wish Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia, Inc. with its premiere on Saturday, February 17, 2018 in Toretti Auditorium in the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex in
Indiana, PA with screenings at 1, 4, and 7pm.

 

The film follows Sophie (Naysa Altmeyer) as she attempts to grant the impossible wish of finding Bigfoot for Roxie (Alexa Mechling), a girl with an inoperable brain tumor, amid deceptive interference from fame-hungry Derrick (Connor McClain). Shot entirely in western
Pennsylvania and featuring local cast and crew, the film will continue to play venues
throughout the greater Pittsburgh region through the spring with a portion of ticket
proceeds benefiting regional children through Make-A-Wish. Additional screenings are
confirmed for the Parkway Theater in McKees Rocks, PA at 4 and 6pm on Saturday,
February 24th and at the Wheeling Island Casino in Wheeling, WV on May 17, 2018.
