BENTONVILLE, Ark. (KFSM) — A movie filmed in Northwest Arkansas brought out some big stars to its premiere in Bentonville on Saturday (July 20).

The film "Max Winslow and the House of Secrets" features multiple areas across Northwest Arkansas. Its premiere was held at the Skylight Cinema in Bentonville where local representatives and Hollywood actors gathered for the viewing.
