Acclaimed Director of Gettysburg and Gods and Generals intimate exploration of the impact of war on family and community

Westfield, NJ (May 16, 2013) Digital Cinema Destinations Corp. (NASDAQ CM: DCIN) announces that the Digiplex Rialto Theater in Westfield will host a special pre-release screening of Director Ron Maxwell’s new film Copperhead at 7:30 PM on May 21, 2013. This special presentation will be the New Jersey Premiere of the movie which opens in theaters across the country a week later on June 28.

Copperhead’s cast includes Billy Campbell (The Rocketeer, Killing Lincoln), Angus Macfadyen (Braveheart, Saw III) and Peter Fonda (Easy Rider, Ulee’s Gold). Local Civil War re-enactors are encouraged to attend the screening in uniform. Ron Maxwell will be at the theater in person to conduct a question and answer session with the audience after the film. The Rialto Theater is located at 250 East Broad Street in Westfield, New Jersey. Admission to the special screening is $14. 

Maxwell, well known in the motion picture and Civil War communities for his now-classic Civil War movies Gettysburg and Gods and Generals, has turned to the home front with Copperhead, a unique motion picture based on Harold Frederic’s late 19^th century novel of the same name. Copperheads were a vocal group of Democrats located in the Union who opposed the American Civil War and advocated for an immediate peace settlement with the Confederates.

Copperhead tells the story of a family torn apart by the war. The title character, Abner Beech, is a New York state farmer who, although he is against slavery, also opposes the war. Beech’s conflicts with a fiery local abolitionist and with his own son, who joins the Union army, highlight the film’s narrative of family and community struggle and tragedy.

Maxwell stated "I'm thrilled to be joining Tom Burke of the New Jersey Civil War Heritage Association and Bud Mayo, CEO of Digiplex Destinations for this special pre-release screening of my new movie. As a child of New Jersey, a graduate of Clifton High School and NYU School of the Arts, it's a homecoming and a treat to see Copperhead on the big screen at the Rialto in Westfield with friends old and new."

Exclusive independent films debut at Digiplex Destinations and other select theaters

WESTFIELD, New Jersey (September 12, 2012) - Digital Cinema Destinations Corp.  (NasdaqCM:DCIN), a fast-growing motion picture exhibitor dedicated to transforming movie theaters into digital entertainment centers, announces the launch of the first of its DigiNext series of diverse curated independent films.

The DigiNext series starts on September 21, 2012, with the controversial documentary Cut Poison Burn - a film that illuminates America’s “War on Cancer” from the patient’s side. It follows the frustrating journeys of critically ill patients and their families as they try to navigate the confusing and dangerous maze of treatment and encounter formidable obstacles posed by the status quo. A compelling critique of the influence of medical monopolies, the power of pharmaceutical companies and government agencies, Cut Poison Burn is essential viewing for anyone concerned about cancer care.

The narrative centers on the Navarro’s, a family struggling to keep their young son, Thomas, alive. The film ultimately expresses hope for a new paradigm of prevention, medical freedom and acceptance of highly tailored therapies in order to usher in a more enlightened era.

Cut Poison Burn’s theatrical release coincides with the August introduction of HR 6342, the “Compassionate Freedom of Choice Act” offered by Congressman Ron Paul of Texas and co-Sponsored by Congressmen Paul Brown of Georgia and Richard Hanna of New York. The film has been cited as supporting material for the bill and has been received with serious consideration by the medical community.

On September 21, viewers at Digiplex Destinations locations in Bloomfield, Connecticut; Cranford, New Jersey; Bloomsburg, Camp Hill, Reading, Selinsgrove and Williamsport, Pennsylvania will have the opportunity to engage in a post-screening digital forum with the film’s Writer/Producer Lou Cimino; Co-Producer Charlie Sadoff; and subjects Donna and Jim Navarro. Larry Meistrich, Chairman & Founder of Nehst Studios will be moderator (details at www.diginextfilms.com).

WESTFIELD, N.J.  (June 28, 2012) - Turner Classic Movies and Digiplex Destinations digital cinemas have collaborated to bring Connecticut and New Jersey audiences the Singin' in the Rain 60th Anniversary Event.

Audiences will be taken behind the scenes of one of the greatest musicals of all time as Ms. Reynolds shares memories of working in 1952 with the late, great Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor.

Singin' in the Rain graces the silver screen for only one night, and has been fully remastered to offer a higher definition picture and sound quality than ever before.   

"This glorious classic film musical tells the story of a silent film production company and cast who make a difficult transition to sound," said A. Dale "Bud" Mayo, Digiplex Destinations chairman/CEO.

"Luckily, our transition to all digital HD was a lot easier than what stars faced when talking pictures first started in the 1920s. Our conversion to digital projection now allows us to offer this screening at the same time it's being shown in theaters nationwide."
