Writer(s): Zilberman and Seth Grossman
Producers: Zilberman, Vanessa Coifman, David Faigenblum, Emanuel Michael, Tamar Sela and Mandy Tagger
Distributor: RKO Pictures

The Gist: This centers on a world-renowned string quartet struggle to stay together in the face of death, competing egos and insuppressible lust. Set in iconic New York City, this is the story of four musicians, bound together by their passion for music and long years of working together. But when their patriarch Peter (Walken) is diagnosed with a terminal illness, the repercussions hit the group deeper than they could imagine...(more)

Cast: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Imogen Poots, Christopher Walken and Catherine Keener

List Worthy Reasons…: Zilberman’s first narrative feature benefits from a solid quartet of actors, and it could be an engrossing drama if illness and romance are portrayed with the required honesty.

Release Date/Status?: A festival premiere is likely, and how RKO Pictures plans to release the drama is anyone’s guess.
