DANIEL HANDLER (the author of LEMONY SNICKET'S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS) & BILL PULLMAN will conduct Q & A after 7:30pm at SUNSET 5 on 10/8



RICK is a moral tale that takes its plot from the opera "Rigoletto." Curtiss Clayton, a veteran film editor with over 25 films under his belt, including work with Gus Van Sant (DRUGSTORE COWBOY, TO DIE FOR) and Vincent Gallo (BUFFALO 66), makes his directorial debut with this New York thriller/black comedy/satire – and indictment of corporate American culture -- starring Bill Pullman in a skillfully layered performance as Rick O'Lette, a middle-aged corporate climber who has lost sight of his humanity and plummets into a nightmare that will ultimately cause him to lose the one thing he loves the most. RICK was written by Daniel Handler, a.k.a. Lemony Snicket, the author of the popular children's book series that has been adapted for the screen by Paramount Pictures as LEMONY SNICKET'S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS starring Jim Carrey. RICK is stylishly photographed by the award-winning cinematographer Lisa Rinzler (THREE SEASONS, POLLOCK, MENACE II SOCIETY).



 "Daniel Handler's script has snap, crackle and pop (he's the author of the popular Lemony Snicket children's books), and Curtiss Clayton's direction is darkly crisp."
