EASIER WITH PRACTICE (2008)
A Film by Kyle Patrick Alvarez
Following his critically acclaimed performance in the multi-Oscar
winning The Hurt Locker, Brian Geraghty delivers a mesmerizing
turn in Kyle Patrick Alvarez’s provocative debut feature film,
Winner of Best New International Feature at the Edinburgh Film
Festival and multiple awards internationally.
On a road trip across middle-town America to promote his
unpublished novel, Davy Mitchell’s life takes an unexpected turn
when he is seduced into a phone sex relationship with a mysterious
caller named Nicole. What starts out as a distraction soon becomes
an obsession, as Davy’s feelings start to develop…
Inspired by Davy Rothbart's autobiographical GQ magazine article
"What Are You Wearing?", EASIER WITH PRACTICE is a sincere
and heartfelt road movie, set to a popular indie rock soundtrack,
exploring the themes of alienation in contemporary society, and how
the search for emotional connection can sometimes lead us into
desperate situations.
“a beautifully poignant,
DAZED & CONFUSED
bittersweet film with a killer twist.”
“one of the year’s as-yet-undiscovered gems.”
LITTLE WHITE LIES
