FEATURE FILM SCREENING "THE OPEN ROAD"



Join SWAMP and Women in Film & Television - Houston for a special screening of the new feature film "The Open Road" starring Jeff Bridges and Justin Timberlake. In this heartwarming comedy, minor leaguer Carlton Garret (Justin Timberlake) takes an unexpected road trip to track down his estranged father, legendary baseball player Kyle Garret (Jeff Bridges) when Carlton's mother (Mary Steenburgen) becomes sick. Knowing his charming yet painfully immature dad's likelihood to disappoint, Carlton enlists his on-again-off-again girlfriend Lucy (Kate Mara) for emotional support. Once reunited, Carlton struggles to deal with the series of misadventures caused by his father's antics, including missed flights, car trouble and bathroom brawls. Years of miscommunication, frustration and comically awkward attempts at bonding come to a head as the mismatched trio make their way from Ohio back home to Houston to reunite the family.

Q & A with Director Michael Meredith and Co-Producer Laurie Foxx following
the screening (moderated by Alfred Cervantes, Deputy Director of the Houston
Film Commission).

Saturday, August 29th @ 10:45AM
Angelika Film Center, 510 Texas Street (@ Smith St.) Houston, TX 77002
