Indie ‘Forgetting the Girl’ Gets Limited Release, Trailer
The indie Forgetting the Girl will be playing theatrically in LA at the Downtown Independent, starting October 11th. For the premiere screening, there will be a live Q&A with director Nate Taylor, star Christopher Denham, and more.
“Haunted by a traumatic history, photographer Kevin Wolfe struggles to systematically forget all his bad memories, seeking a girl who can help him with the endeavor. Unfortunately, all his encounters with the opposite sex inevitably go afoul, creating more awkward experiences than he can cope with. As the rejections mount, the tense narrative slowly boils under the surface, until it unleashes in an unsettling climax that will not be easily forgotten.”
Here’s the film’s trailer, as well as some cool banner art.
