Struck by Lightning is playing at the Provincetown International Film Festival in June under the narrative features category.
Dates and times:
The Provincetown International Film Festival takes place in Provincetown, Massachusetts, from June 13-17. Apparently there will be some tribute to Allison Janney during it, but I don’t know the details about that. The film description for the festival says she’s a 2012 PIFF Excellence in Acting Honoree.
Description: After being struck and killed by lightning, a young man (“Glee’s” Chris Colfer) recounts the way he blackmailed his fellow classmates into contributing to his literary magazine. With 2012 PIFF Excellence in Acting Honoree Allison Janney, Christina Hendricks (“Mad Men”), and Sarah Hyland (“Modern Family”).

April 22, 2012 - Apple’s “Meet the Filmmakers” panel for Struck By Lightning with Brian Dannelly, Allie Grant, Carter Jenkins, Roberto Aguire, Polly Bergen, and Chris Colfer. (Warning: the panel contains some plot and character spoilers for the film.)

Chris Colfer is known as an actor — he won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Kurt on Glee — but this Tribeca Film Festival, he’s making his debut as a writer as well. His first film, Struck by Lightning, premiered over the weekend with eager Harry Potter star Emma Watson in the audience (she even asked a question during the Q&A!), and he’s got a second film already in the works, in addition to a children’s book, a Disney Channel pilot, and probably ten other projects by now. So it’s only fitting that his character in Struck is an overachieving high school student who wants to take his writing to the next level — even if he has to commit blackmail to do it. Colfer chatted with Vulture about his own literary high school experiences, his future on Glee, and why he’ll be auditioning for an Adam Sandler movie soon.

Per this article:
“While a distributor for the film has yet to be announced, [Director, Brian] Dannelly said to expect its release in theaters all over the country by late 2012.”
