accidents happen . feature film . directed by andrew lancaster
DIRECTOR: ANDREW LANCASTER
EP: HEATHER OGILVIE
PRODUCER: ANTHONY ANDERSON
WRITER: BRIAN CARBEE
Photoplay is excited to represent Andrew for commercial projects, and his feature film ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, starring Academy Award®-winner Geena Davis, is just about to open in cinemas nationally.
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN is a brash and moving comedy about family, fate and misfortune in American suburbia. The manicured lawns of 1980’s New England imply an order that simply doesn’t exist for the Conway family, headed by razor-tongued Gloria. Youngest son Billy has been a witness to a series of tragic accidents, including one that fractured his whole family. Always the good boy, Billy takes up with the neighbourhood troublemaker in acts of delicious delinquency in a world already spinning out of control. The ensuing collision of guilt, truth and self discovery may be just what his family needs to move on.
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN premieres in Australia on April 14th 2010, and in the USA in August 2010.
