Production
[edit | edit source]Not This Part of the World is based on a play by Downhouse Productions that was a production in 1993 at the George Street Playhouse.[2] The film adaptation was shot over 27 days in areas south of Kuna[3] and in Boise, Idaho, with a local cast including Adam West and Matt Letscher. It was funded by $65,000 in cash and $190,000 in donations,[4] including a $34,000 grant from the U S West Foundation, the Whittenberger Foundation and Boise State University. Schools Superintendent Anne Fox objected the grant to the Idaho State Department of Education for the film's brief nudity.[5][6] David Klein worked on the film around his schedule for Mallrats, sharing credit with Jeffrey D. Smith.[7] Atlakson said the film's purpose was to boost filmmaking opportunities in Idaho[8] for the first time in 70 years,[9] since the Nell Shipman-era,[10] something West agreed with.[11]
Release
[edit | edit source]The film premiered at the Flicks Theater in Boise on October 6, 1995, with a limited release[12][1] and later screened at the Long Island Film Festival[13] and Sundance Film Festival.[11] It was shopped at the Independent Feature Film Market.[4]
Reception
[edit | edit source]Not This Part of the World won Best First Feature Film at Long Island Film Festival.[8] Laura Delgado at The Arbiter said some of the dialogue scenes were lengthy but one particular scene with a stuntman was worth the cost.[14]
