SUMMARY:Fantasy Life Screening and Q&A with Director Matthew Shear
DESCRIPTION:Watch one of the year’s best Jewish indie comedies\, and hear from up-and-coming star Matthew Shear! \nFirst-time writer-director-actor Matthew Shear (who has appeared in films by Noah Baumbach and Nathan Silver) uses Jewish humor to create a heartfelt tale of connection in “Fantasy Life\,” co-starring Amanda Peet. \nPeet plays Dianne\, a depressed middle-aged mom who meets newly laid-off paralegal Sam (Shear) when he’s hired — by his therapist — to babysit her three daughters while her husband (Alessandro Nivola) is away chasing his dreams to become a rock star. As Sam and Dianne find surprising intimacies by bonding over shared neuroses about lives they no longer feel they control\, “Fantasy Life” reveals itself as a deeply honest character study. \nThe film won the SXSW Narrative Feature Audience Award\, and its impressive cast also stars Judd Hirsch\, Andrea Martin\, Bob Balaban\, Jessica Harper\, and Zosia Mamet. \n  \nYour ticket comes with: \n\nAccess to view the film online on May 18 at 7:00 p.m. ET\nAccess to a Q&A interview with Matthew Shear directly after the screening\nA recording of the Q&A portion of the event
