Multi-nation indie film looks unlike anything else in theatres!
Director: Tatia Rosenthal (A Buck's Worth)
Writers: Etgar Keret (Wristcutters: A Love Story), Tatia Rosenthal (Crazy Glue)
Cast: Geoffrey Rush (Shine), Anthony LaPaglia (TV's Without a Trace), Samuel Johnson (TV's The Secret Life of Us), Claudia Karvan (The Heartbreak Kid), Barry Otto (Strictly Business), Joel Edgerton (Star Wars prequel trilogy), Leeanna Walsman (Star Wars-Episode II: Attack of the Clones), Ben Mendelsohn (The Year My Voice Broke), Jamie Katsamatsas (Walnut)
Distributors: Regent Releasing/ Maximum Films/ Memento Films
Running Time: 78 minutes
Release Date: Friday, June 19, 2009 (NY/L.A.)
Synopsis: Although $9.99 premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last September, this Australian-Israeli stop-motion-animation feature film will finally show in limited theatres in New York City and Los Angeles this month. The charming indie film tells the story of Dave Peck (Johnson), an unemployed 28-year-old who still lives at home and who is in search of "the meaning of life." He discovers that he can find his answers in an illuminated booklet that costs just $9.99, and we're along for the ride as his life interweaves with his strange and intriguing neighbours, including an old man and his "disgruntled" guardian angel. Based on the short stories of Etgar Keret, $9.99 will not likely reach wide release, so for those who do not live in L.A. or New York, you will have to wait for DVD.
