SANDPOINT, ID (PRWEB) August 19, 2006 -– The Idaho Panhandle International Film Festival (IPIFF) will kick off its first fest by adding a free sneak preview event of the quirky comedy, “The Trouble With Dee Dee”, Wednesday evening, August 23rd, at 8PM at the historic Panida Theater in Sandpoint Idaho, in conjunction with the Arts Alliance event “Party Behind the Panida”.

This will be the West Coast premiere of “The Trouble with Dee Dee”, which stars Lisa Ann Walter (The Parent Trap) as a Dee Dee Rutherford, socialite heiress who fails to conform to her fathers (Kurtwood Smith, Red from ‘That 70’s Show’) wishes for her to act more mature. What he doesn’t know is she has something up her sleeve. An adventure that takes you on a wild roller coaster, “Dee Dee” is sure to entertain. Rated PG-13 due to language.

Entry to the film is free, and those planning to attend should get in line early to get a seat. This is not a festival pass event.

In addition to the free film, you can stroll just behind the Panida Theater from 6-10PM for a free event hosted by The Arts Alliance, featuring a photo slideshow by Woods Wheatcroft, interactive poetry in motion, live music, a beer garden and food.
