The Spy and the Sparrow will premier at the Seattle Independent Film Festival!
That's right - I have TWO films premiering in Seattle, and I hope you come check them out. The Spy and the Sparrow stars myself, Eric Roberts and David Rasche. Directed by the awesome Garrett Bennett and shot in Seattle, The story of The Spy and the Sparrow goes like this:
After an assignment in East Berlin goes awry, secret agent Thomas Sparrow splits the scene. Twenty-six years later, the retired agent returns to the Pacific Northwest, burdened with guilt and claiming he doesn't remember what happened that day, but CIA operatives Clay and Kruch find that hard to believe, since a Russian mobster has him in his sights. Friend and ex-spook Robert “Bob” Byrne recommends that he reconnect with his now-divorced artist daughter, Josephine. So while the operatives keep tabs on Tommy, he keeps tabs on Josephine. With her penchant for alcohol and strange men, she may not be the world's best mother, but she loves her daughter and starts seeing a psychiatrist to get her life back on track. He just happens to be Bob, who helps her out in ways her emotionally constricted father can't. Eccentric, but effective attorney Kidd also lends a hand in this sly and surprising film.
It premiers at the SIFF Cinema on June 10th at 9:00 PM, then plays again at the Egyptian Theater on June 13th at 11:00 AM. Many from the cast and crew will be on hand and it should be a great time! Check out the trailer here.
