Ticket: Win Win - Berkeley, CA

Here is a ticket for the new movie, Win Win.

Tom McCarthy, acclaimed writer/director of THE VISITOR and THE STATION AGENT, once again explores the depths and nuances of human relationships in his new film about the allegiances and bonds between unlikely characters. Disheartened attorney Mike Flaherty (Paul Giamatti), who moonlights as a high school wrestling coach, stumbles across a star athlete through some questionable business dealings while trying to support his family. Just as it looks like he will get a double payday, the boy's mother shows up fresh from rehab and flat broke, threatening to derail everything. McCarthy's deft touch with balancing drama and comedy, broken hearts and poignant humanity is at play in WIN WIN.

Ticket: Beeswax - Berkeley, CA - Free movie screening


SCREENING INFORMATION: BEESWAX

DATE/TIME: Tuesday, August 25, 7:00pm
LOCATION: Landmark’s Shattuck Cinemas, 2230 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley

marvelous new film from writer/director Andrew Bujalski (Funny Ha Ha, Mutual Appreciation), one of the brightest stars in indie film, BEESWAX revolves around the personal and professional entanglements of twin sisters Jeannie and Lauren—played by extraordinary newcomers Tilly and Maggie Hatcher (Maggie is also a Bay Area resident and works full time as a local emergency room doctor) —living in Austin, Texas. Jeannie co-owns a vintage clothing store with Amanda (Anne Dodge), a semi-estranged friend who she fears is trying to end their partnership. Lauren leads a looser, less tethered existence and is considering getting out of the country altogether. When Jeannie receives an email from Amanda threatening a lawsuit, she calls her law student ex-boyfriend Merrill (Alex Karpovsky) for help. Eager for distraction from his own problems, he begins helping the sisters with theirs. Imbued with an innate charm, BEESWAX is a story about families, friends, lovers and those awkward moments that bring all of them together. Like Bujalski’s previous films, the cast is made up of non-professional (but carefully cast) actors and filmed with a light, fast-moving crew. The goal is to tell an intimate, peculiar story the likes of which one could not achieve via a more traditional, large-scale mode of production.

NOTE: The screening is part of “Calendar Preview Night.” Event starts at 7:00pm with approx half hour pre-show of trailers and comments/discussion on the group of films on the new Shattuck calendar.
