Trailer Watch: Catherine Keener Fights Corporate Giants in “Little Pink House”

“Little Pink House”

“I feel happy here. I feel like I’m home,” says Catherine Keener in a new trailer for “Little Pink House.” Written and directed by Courtney Moorehead Balaker, the drama sees Keener playing Susette Kelo, a nurse who’s recovering from the aftermath of a messy divorce. After buying a cottage in small-town Connecticut and refurbishing it with her own hands, she’s finally starting to feel like she’s exactly where she belongs. And then a powerful corporation announces plans to open up shop and bulldoze Susette’s neighborhood.

“No amount of money could replace our homes,” Susette explains. “This is where we chose to settle and this is where we want to stay.” She rallies her neighbors to take on Pfizer, the pharmaceutical company trying to demolish their houses with the support of local politicians. “If you even try to take my property away from me, the whole world is going to hear about it,” she threatens. “Little Pink House” is based on a true story, and the real Susette Kelo waged war all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Moorehead Balaker’s previous credits include “The Collector” and “Cute Couple.”

You can catch “Little Pink House” in theaters April 20. The pic opened the 2017 Athena Film Festival and its script was a finalist on the 2015 Athena List, a selection of screenplays with female leads that have yet to be made into films.
