There will be two screenings of the film at 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. on January 8, at Harkins Sedona Six Theatres. Sedona Film Festival Presents The AirBrendan Fraser stars as a man who can see into the future of everyone he meets, but is totally blind when it comes to his own. He is shown here with Emile Hirsch, who plays the corrupt nephew of mob boss Fingers (Andy Garcia). "The Air I Breathe" boasts a brilliant ensemble cast including Forest Whitaker, Andy Garcia, Kevin Bacon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Brendan Fraser, Julie Delpy and Emile Hirsch. The film’s director and co-writer, Jieho Lee, will be here for both screenings. He will be joined by his co-writer Bob DeRosa. Both will introduce the film and lead the Q&A discussions following the screenings. "What an incredible opportunity for us to kick off the New Year with this big film," said film festival director Patrick Schweiss. "We get the film here in Sedona three weeks before its premiere in New York and Los Angeles." Four short fables in which characters collide with fate – and each other – comprise "The Air I Breathe," an absorbing drama from debuting director/writer Jieho Lee. Featuring an Oscar-caliber ensemble cast, the film is inspired by a Chinese proverb that breaks life down into four key emotions – Happiness, Sorrow, Pleasure, and Love – and each vignette is built around a character who embodies one of these key emotions. Their stories intersect dramatically and come to the fore in a new motion picture that beckons to the tough, the bold, and the courageous few who dare to love. In "Happiness," 2006 Best Actor Oscar Winner Forest Whitaker stars as a timid banker who impulsively bets every cent he has, and then some, on a supposedly "sure thing." After he borrows heavily and loses everything, he finds himself at a crossroads between running from his destiny or confronting his fears. Forest Whitaker - The Air I Breathe Oscar Winner Forest Whitaker stars as a timid banker who impulsively bets every cent he has, and then some, on a supposedly "sure thing" in Jieho Lee’s "The Air I Breathe," premiering Jan. 8th. In "Sorrow," Sarah Michelle Gellar is a rising pop star whose contract falls under the control of a ruthless crime boss (Oscar-nominee Andy Garcia), and his corrupt nephew (Emile Hirsch). In "Pleasure," Brendan Fraser stars as a man who can see into the future of everyone he meets, but is totally blind when it comes to his own; and in "Love," Kevin Bacon plays a doctor who pines for a woman he can never possess (Julie Delpy), only to find that he suddenly holds her life in his hands. Though each of the characters believes that his or her life is governed by hazard and chance, their unbridled emotions, impulsive choices, and reckless moves all prove one universal truth: character is destiny, and each of us makes our own fate. |
