- Power Ballad opened the Sands Film Festival in St. Andrews, Scotland, to a rapturous audience reaction.
- Power Ballad received similarly enthusiastic responses at SXSW, Dublin, and its limited release last week.
- John Carney has repeatedly generated lathering responses from festival audiences with his films.
Why it matters: Film distributors and John Carney’s producers gain from the rapturous festival buzz, boosting ticket sales for the limited release that opened last week.
