THE 34th CLEVELAND INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL TO OPEN WITH: TiMER

THE 34th CLEVELAND INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL TO OPEN WITH: TiMER (OPENING NIGHT SPONSOR:  DOLLAR BANK) TiMER, directed by Jac Schaeffer, is a romantic comedy that asks the question:  "If a clock could count down to the moment you meet your soul mate, would you want to know?"  TiMER, starring Emma Caulfield, John Patrick Amedori, Michelle Borth, and JoBeth Williams, is set to open the 34th Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) on Thursday, March 18th. TiMER:  When implanted in a person's wrist, a TiMER counts down to the day the wearer finds true love. But Oona O'Leary faces the rare dilemma of a blank TiMER. Her soul mate - whoever and wherever he is - has yet to have a TiMER implanted. Staring down the barrel of thirty and tired of waiting for her would-be life partner to get off the dime, Oona breaks her own rules and falls for Mikey, a charming and inappropriately young supermarket clerk with a countdown of four months. Tickets to the Opening Night Gala, sponsored by Dollar Bank, are $125 per person ($100 for CIFF members).  The Gala includes the film at 7:00 p.m. at Tower City Cinemas, followed by a TiMER party at 9:00 p.m. at MK Ferguson Plaza in Tower City Center, with special guest Jac Schaeffer.
