CLOSING NIGHT // OVERVIEW
Take a day off from your therapist and spend the night with ours instead. For far less than the cost of one session, you'll get joy in watching others behave badly in Shrink while downing complimentary cocktails provided by Three Olives Vodka and Stella Artois with new friends at Loft Six Ten on the Closing Night of the Film Festival.

*Q & A with director Jonas Pate and select cast following the Premiere
What happens when the people we count on to hold us together…are barely holding it together themselves? Shrink is a striking, fast-paced exposé of the “rarely seen" Hollywood, featuring folks living outside their comfort zone and the people who put them there. Henry Carter (Spacey) is a psychiatrist with an A-list clientele, including a once-famous actress (Burrows), an insecure young writer (Webber - who directed last year's festival audience award winner, "Explicit Ills"), and a comically obsessive-compulsive superagent (Roberts). However, when Carter is asked to take his first pro bono case, a troubled teenage girl from a neighborhood far from the Hollywood hills - his own demons bubble to the surface causing him to slowly lose control in a cloud of smoke. Watching Shrink makes us feel like voyeurs looking through a window into the lives of people who look great, feel worse, and end up behaving badly.
Lead by Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey, this film has a bevy of recognizable and impressive talent including Robin Williams, Robert Loggia (more than 100 films including "Big" & "Scarface"), Keke Palmer (lead of "True Jackson, VP"), Dallas Roberts ("The L Word"), Saffron Burrows ("Troy"), and one of this year's Gen Art Fresh Faces in Film Sundance Honorees Pell James ("Fan Boys", "Zodiac").
