Man in the Chair

Monday, July 23, 7:00 pm
N.Y. Premiere—U.S.A.—107 minutes
Written and Directed by Michael Schroeder.
With Christopher Plummer, Michael Angarano, M. Emmett Walsh, Robert Wagner

Cameron Kincaid (Michael Angarano) is a rebellious teenager. He is also a fanatical film buff who longs to be an important filmmaker but seems more likely to end up in prison than on a film set.

Cameron pursues his filmmaking dream when he enters a prestigious student competition that offers the winner a scholarship to the Los Angeles Film School. He enlists the assistance of a reluctant retired gaffer named Flash (Christopher Plummer), the only surviving crew member from the legendary film, Citizen Kane. Flash taps into the unused talent of his elderly retired filmmaker friends at the Motion Picture Retirement Home, persuading them to help Cameron with his film. A tour de force performance by Plummer should have people talking around Oscar time. Produced by Michael Schroeder, Sarah Schroeder and Randy Turrow. Director of Photography: Dana Gonzales.
