Special pre-release screening and Q&A with director John Gray and, schedules permitting, film stars Stephen Lang (Avatar, The Men Who Stare at Goats, Public Enemies), and Peter Riegert (Traffic, Crossing Delancey, Animal House). 1/18 UPDATE: The guest line-up is changing, and Stephen Lang is unlikely and may be working. Replacements may be made.
Written and directed by Rockland’s John Gray (creator of the CBS series Ghost Whisperer), White Irish Drinkers is a coming-of-age story about two brothers—one a petty thief, the other a budding artist—faced with a chance to steal their way out of life with their alcoholic father, long-suffering mother, and Irish working-class Brooklyn neighborhood. Opens in theaters this March.
