Multiple Sarcasms…

Imagine this scenario: toiling over your computer (or typewriter), trying to find the right words to express the right points in the right tone, in order to complete the project of your lifetime… the one you’re certain will bring you the ultimate sense of achievement and happiness.

I can imagine it pretty perfectly, actually. For this reason, and of course because it was directed by my friend and amazing director/writer/producer, Brooks Branch, I’m thrilled about the arrival of the new movie Multiple Sarcasms, in theaters today. The charming film features Academy Award winner, Timothy Hutton, as a New York architect circa 1979, who, on the surface, has it all, but is plagued by sadness. In an attempt to thwart his mid-life crisis, he becomes obsessed with writing a screenplay—and in the meantime, the rest of his life unravels.

The trailer wants to know, “Can you change your character?” I’d like to believe we can, but I guess we’ll have to watch to find out.
