Screencaps of Heather’s performance in ‘Adrift in Manhattan,’ including 3 deleted scenes, are now available in the gallery for your viewing pleasure.

If you haven’t had a chance to see the film yet you should watch it when you have a chance, as it is a very well made and well acted indie film, but only if you are the appropriate age to watch R-rated films containing graphic sex scenes and scenes of implied incest. The sex scenes aren’t really any more graphic than things Heather has done in the past, but there is one scene that has “shocked” many audiences and made many viewers very uncomfortable. The implied incest revolves around Victor Rasuk’s character and while nothing is shown outright, many of his scenes are incredibly uncomfortable and painful to watch. The reasons for these warnings are that (a) we have minors who visit the site and they, as well as their parents, should be aware of the content of the film; and (b) some scenes in the film will make many people uncomfortable. I would have given these warnings sooner, but I was only just recently able to watch them film in its entirety and therefore couldn’t comment on it until now.

‘Adrift in Manhattan’ will be released on DVD in the US on January 22, 2008 and is now available for pre-order through Amazon.com for $16.99. Click here to pre-order your copy today!

“Adrift in Manhtattan� has found a mooring.

The Heather Graham drama will be distributed by Screen Media Films with a Sept. 21 theatrical release date New York. The film’s Los Angeles release will be through the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival, which runs Oct 7-14. Pic’s Sundance preem raised eyebrows for the graphic sex scene with Graham.

“We love the film, and it has a great cast that is totally behind the film,� enthused Screen Media president Robert Baruc. Baruc noted that this is one of six theatrical films that Screen Media is doing this year, including the upcoming doc “Skid Row,� in which Fugees performer Pras Michel lives as a homeless man in the infamous L.A. slum.

“We’re looking on the lighter side, too,� said Baruc. “We have a couple of comedies coming up.� The company has expanded from home video into theatrical distribution this year with Jay Baruchel laffer “I’m Reed Fish.�

“Adrift,� a story about the chance meetings between the film’s three leads, is directed by Alfredo De Villa and garnered acclaim at fests in Indianapolis and Palm Beach.

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.
