SCANDINAVIAN THRILLER-DRAMA, “TROUBLED WATER,” AVAILABLE ON DVD FEBRUARY 12TH, 2010 Film Movement Makes Internationally Acclaimed Film Festival Winner Available on DVD, Recommended by Whom You Know

Film Movement (www.filmmovement.com), the exclusive distributor of award-winning independent and foreign films carries TROUBLED WATER on DVD; this festival gem from acclaimed international filmmaker Erik Poppe is a chilling portrait of crime, punishment and repentance in the modern urban landscape. All Film Movement DVD releases include a short film—this month’s selection is THE KOLABORATOR, from US director Chris Bessounian, and winner of the Emerging Filmmaker Award at the Cannes Film Festival’s American Pavilion. It is set during the violent conflict in the former Yugoslavia, and features a young soccer player who is coerced into becoming a government-sponsored executioner.

Peachy Deegan is always amazed at how moving these films can be; before she knew Film Movement she mainly liked films that entertained her and were light in nature. These are so thought-provoking and a breath of fresh air to Hollywood. Troubled Water deals with some tough issues and you will find yourself caught up in the characters, and for lack of a better word, their TROUBLES!

The DVDs will be available at Film Movement (www.filmmovement.com), and also through major retailers such as Blockbuster, Amazon, Netflix and at Passion River Films.

Synopsis of TROUBLED WATER:

Jan, recently released from prison after serving time for the murder of a child, has always maintained his innocence and is ready to put the past behind him. A gifted organist, he takes a job at an Oslo church under his middle name, Thomas. His talent and gentle manner quickly earn him the respect of his superiors, as well as the love of the pastor, Anna. Thomas even overcomes his initial panic to return the affection of Anna's young son, Jens. But his past catches up with him when Agnes, a local teacher, comes to the church on a school visit and recognizes the organist as Jan, the young man who was convicted for the murder of her son.

TROUBLED WATER is from highly acclaimed, award-winning Director Erik Poppe—director of Norway’s submission for the 2005 Oscars ®, HAWAII, OSLO (also a Film Movement release)

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
