Let me know when and where, in the Atlanta area, I can see the movie BURDEN, or when I can purchase it on DVD.
@ Elvan Moore, I.:
It was supposed to come out this year to my understanding; however, I still haven’t found/seen a release date,…. the only dates I can find or releases are from another “Burden” revolving around Chris Burden, an artist, as opposed to Michael Burden from the KKK.
Trying to find an update on when the movie BURDEN will be release, no information found. Would like to see this movie when it’s released.
January 2018 (Film premiere at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival)
How do we go about getting ticket? How much are they? Where is the sundance film festival located? And what theater is it playing at. Please let me know have a wonderful day.
It’s in theaters Sunday…January 21!
I was an extra in it along with my husband and sons. I can’t wait! We’ve waited over a year.
What are they waiting forever to release this film? I have been looking froward to seeing it for over a year and a half. Does anybody know anything?
