Dirty Rice (Mark Krasnoff Tribute)

Pat Mire, Writer/Director

1997 85 min. Color

When Louis's father dies, he goes home from his big city job to his home in rural Louisiana, where he discovers the family rice farm close to ruin. With the help of beautiful Helene, he tries to save the farm, and reconnect with his own roots and French Louisiana heritage. This film was an official entry at the 1998 London Film Festival where it played to two sold-out auditoriums. Neal Norman, film critic for the London Evening Standard, reviewed the film and wrote, "While the Big Easy, No Mercy, and more recently, Eve's Bayou have flirted with the Cajun world, this is the real deal, 100% proof. This is not to be missed." Mark Krasnoff played the role of Raymond.
