#49. The Playroom – Julia Dyer
Having John Hawkes cast in your film doesn’t assure a playdate in Park City, but Hawkes plus having shown your first film (Late Bloomers) at the film festival way back in 1996 might help in spades to receive a sophomore showing showcase which would be the case for Julia Dyer’s The Playroom. If included, this would surely be included in the U.S Dramatic Comp.
Gist: Four children in their attic hideaway make up a fantastic story, while downstairs their parents weave a drunken intrigue of their own. In a lyrical but gripping dual narrative, the story of the children’s life intertwines with the story they make up about their life–until the two stories collide and the delicate family structure collapses.
Producers: Stephen Dyer and Angie Meyer
