“Ashley Judd gives the performance of her career.”
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

SANTA MONICA, CA – A delicately told tale of life transitions and dreams deferred, COME EARLY MORNING explores the quietly destructive patterns and personal sacrifices of living in a rural Southern town. Debuting on DVD March 20 from Genius Products LLC. and The Weinstein Company, COME EARLY MORNING marks the triumphant directorial debut of Joey Lauren Adams (Chasing Amy, The Break-Up), who earned the Dorothy Arzner Directors Award at the 2006 Women In Film Festival, as well as a nomination for the prestigious Grand Jury Prize at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. Fueled by subtly nuanced performances from Ashley Judd (Divine Secrets of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Double Jeopardy) and a versatile supporting cast that includes Laura Prepon (“That 70s Show”), Diane Ladd (Rambling Rose) and Jeffrey Donovan (Hitch), COME EARLY MORNING is a heart-breaking portrait of the simple truths of small town life. A beautiful and honest rendering based on Adams’ own intimate experiences growing up in a rural Southern community, the COME EARLY MORNING DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $28.95.

Synopsis

Lucy (Judd), a hard-working, Southern woman, fails to deal with the burdens of her past and allows her personal life to be reduced to a spiral of late nights and one-night stands. When Lucy meets Cal (Donovan), a newcomer to town, she is finally forced to confront her fears as he challenges her to accept a more meaningful relationship. Lucy must decide whether to push Cal away or face the demons that have left her incapable of intimacy and growth. She begins a spiritual journey toward love and redemption that takes her to an entirely unexpected and original place.
