DEAD MAN'S BURDEN, directed by Jared Moshé, opens in New York today, May 3rd. The film was an Official Selection of the 2012 Los Angeles Film Festival, 2012 Hamptons International Film Festival and 2012 New Orleans Film Festival.

Director Jared Moshé and actors CLARE BOWEN (ABC's "Nashville"), Barlow Jacobs (SHOTGUN STORIES) and David Call (TINY FURNITURE) will be in attendance at the NYC opening.

Set in 1870 in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, DEAD MAN'S BURDEN is the story of Martha (CLARE BOWEN, ABC's Nashville) and her husband Heck (David Call, Tiny Furniture), who are struggling to make ends meet on the rural New Mexico frontier. When a mining company expresses interest in buying their land, Martha and Heck see their ticket to a better life. Their hopeful plans are soon complicated when Martha's oldest brother Wade (Barlow Jacobs, Shotgun Stories), presumed dead during the war, returns to the family homestead after learning of their father's death. A defector to the Union Army, Wade soon discovers that Martha is hiding secrets of her own. As the two siblings become reacquainted, torn between a desire to reconcile with the only family they have left and their clashing convictions, tension and suspicion continue to mount. Filmed on location in the rugged high desert of northern New Mexico, DEAD MAN'S BURDEN, shot in the style of a classic western, marks Jared Moshé's directorial debut.

The film stars Barlow Jacobs, CLARE BOWEN, David Call, Joseph Lyle Taylor and Richard Riehle and is distributed by Cinedigm Entertainment Group. Cinedigm will release "Dead Man's Burden" in New York on May 3rd, with a national rollout to follow.
