Marc Webb
August 8th at 7:30pm
Thomas Webb (Callum Turner), the son of a publisher and his artistic wife, has just graduated from college and is trying to find his place in the world. Moving from his parents’ Upper West Side apartment to the Lower East Side, he befriends his neighbor W.F. (Jeff Bridges), a shambling alcoholic writer who dispenses worldly wisdom alongside healthy shots of whiskey. Thomas’ world begins to shift when he discovers that his long-married father (Pierce Brosnan) is having an affair with a seductive younger woman (Kate Beckinsale). Determined to break up the relationship, Thomas ends up sleeping with his father’s mistress, launching a chain of events that will change everything he thinks he knows about himself and his family.
About Marc Webb
An in-demand music video director for nearly 10 years, Marc Webb’s career path changed dramatically after his first feature, the endearingly bittersweet romance “500 Days of Summer” (2009). The film brought him to the attention of the critical community, which showered his debut effort with praise; it also ushered him into the Hollywood inner circle, where, in 2010, he was granted the keys to the “Spider-Man” franchise. Webb’s visual skill and boundless imagination made him a talent to watch and admire for film fans worldwide.
