NJ Premiere Of Hillsborough Comedy To Kick off Farm Week At Norz Hill Farm

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Norz Hill Farm is set to kick off Farm Week on Sunday with the New Jersey premiere of Hillsborough filmmaker's "The Family Recipe."

The screening will take place outdoors under the stars at Norz Hill Farm at 120 S Branch Road in Hillsborough.

The event will also include dinner on the farm, Flounder Brewing Co. on-site, and an opportunity for attendees to meet the filmmakers and pick up a poster or T-shirt.

The film previously had what Hillsborough filmmaker Karl Ryan Erikson described as an "incredible festival run," including winning Best Feature Film at the Long Island International Film Expo.

Erikson said the Hillsborough event will serve as the film’s official New Jersey premiere.

He said the local setting makes the screening especially meaningful because of the film’s ties to Somerset County.

"Having the New Jersey premiere of The Family Recipe here in Hillsborough feels like bringing the film home. We made this movie in Somerset County with the support of local businesses, locations, cast members and members of the community, so getting to share it with a hometown audience— outdoors at Norz Hill Farm — is incredibly special. After everything it took to make the film, this feels like a celebration of everyone who helped bring it to life."

The premiere is part of the opening of Hillsborough Farm Week.

The event is also a way to celebrate local filmmaking while bringing people together at the farm for an outdoor community gathering.
