Burning Rainbow Farm

by

Sebastian Stan and Leo Woodall are making their way to the farm. These two talented actors are set to lead Justin Kurzel’s latest true-crime movie, an exhilarating tale based on one of America’s most significant and dramatic FBI/police standoffs. The film is titled Burning Rainbow Farm, and Rocket Science, a renowned entertainment and film production company, plans to showcase it at the Cannes Film Festival this month in an attempt to secure a major studio distributor. Given the caliber of talent and compelling storyline, we are quite confident that the movie will indeed find its perfect partner.

According to an article from The Hollywood Reporter, “Burning Rainbow Farm” is a movie based on the real events of Tom Crosslin and Rollie Rohm, a gay couple in rural Michigan who established a harmonious, marijuana-friendly community together. However, when they clashed with local law enforcement and their child was taken away from them, a confrontation took place. In this film, Stan portrays Crosslin, while Woodall plays Rolm Rohm. One possible reason why this true story might not be well-known or remembered is that it occurred on September 3, 2001 – just days before the tragic events of 9/11 that would dominate headlines and public attention for years to come.

The Story of Rainbow Farm Is A Wild And True Tale Of Queer Love And Weed

In simple terms, Rainbow Farm was a campground in Newberg Township, Michigan, founded by Tom Crosslin and Rollie Rohm with aspirations of establishing a utopian lifestyle. The farm hosted two annual events – HempAid and Roach Roast – from 1996 until its closure following the fatal 2001 shootout. These events were significant in the pro-marijuana movement, earning the farm a spot on High Times Magazine’s “Top 25 Top Stoner Travel Spots in the World” list (number 14). Tragically, Crosslin and Rohm were charged with tax evasion, leading to a dramatic shootout… an intriguing tale that promises to be a thrilling spectacle on screen.

Sebastian Stan has been dedicatedly working towards making this movie a reality since 2017, initially with Lenny Abrahamson set to direct. However, as reported by World of Reel, it was actually Stan who recruited Kurzel to take up the director’s role after Abrahamson departed from the project. With Stan’s recent ventures and Kurzel’s latest production, The Order, it’s clear we’re in for a thrilling experience.
