Nantucket Film Fest scores ‘Coup’



Heather Graham will join “Big Love” ladies Mary Kay Place and Tina Majorino, “West Wing” star Jimmy Smits and many more boldfacers here this weekend at the Nantucket Film Festival, where they’ll perform a reading of the screenplay, “Coup de Tat.”

The script, written by Tinseltown twosome and Connecticut College alums Lisa Addario and Joe Syracuse, is about a 16-year-old girl whose pen pal is a Latin American dictator. When the rebel without a country is overthrown, he takes up residence in the girl’s garage. Hilarity, naturally, ensues.

’1/9′ – In Focus



Thank you to Russell for the heads up on the following article regarding Heather’s upcoming film, 1/9.

“Because of mass communication and mass transportation, the world is getting smaller, but we’re not necessarily getting closer or making more meaningful connections as a result,” says Alfredo De Villa (Washington Heights) of his third feature, 1/9, a New York ensemble drama about people with little in common besides a subway line who form unexpected and life-changing bonds. The film weaves three intersecting tales about a young photographer (Victor Rasuk), a couple estranged after the loss of a child (Heather Graham and William Baldwin) and a doorman, also an artist, who may be going blind (The Sopranos’ Dominic Chianese). “They are all blatantly unaware of their internal conflicts until they experience personal crises and the disruption of their habits leads to epiphanies,” says De Villa. “I wanted to make a movie where plot was secondary, never imposed on the characters, and where powerful emotions were explored in the ellipses. You get a sense as the movie ends that the real dramatic climax is a few days later.” He wrote 1/9 with Nat Moss, his co-screenwriter on Heights and 2000 Sundance Lab project Angel.
