7:30 PMJoin us for An Evening With… Andrew Garfield as we rewind through his career leading up to and including the incredible year of performances he’s graced our screens with – from independents to blockbusters – topping it all off with an Academy Award® nomination for his portrayal of Rent creator Jonathan Larson in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s tick, tick…BOOM!.
Moderated by Dave Karger (Host, Turner Classic Movies).
Attending Film Independent Arts Circle Members are invited to join us for an intimate pre-reception on The Wallis campus starting at 6:30 PM, prior to showtime.
About tick, tick… BOOM!
Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda makes his feature directorial debut with tick, tick… BOOM!, an adaptation of the autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, who revolutionized theater as the creator of Rent. The film follows Jon (Academy Award® nominee and Tony Award® winner Andrew Garfield), a young theater composer who’s waiting tables at a New York City diner in 1990 while writing what he hopes will be the next great American musical. Days before he’s due to showcase his work in a make-or-break performance, Jon is feeling the pressure from everywhere: from his girlfriend Susan, who dreams of an artistic life beyond New York City; from his friend Michael, who has moved on from his dream to a life of financial security; amidst an artistic community being ravaged by the AIDS epidemic. With the clock ticking, Jon is at a crossroads and faces the question everyone must reckon with: What are we meant to do with the time we have?
