SOLITARY MAN
Starring Michael Douglas, Mary-Louise Parker, Jenna Fischer, Jesse Eisenberg, Imogen Poots, with Susan Sarandon and Danny Devito
Written and Directed by Brian Koppelman and David Levien (Knockaround Guys, Rounders, Ocean’s Thirteen)
Solitary Man tells the dryly funny yet all too relatable story of Ben Kalmen (Michael Douglas), a fifty-something New Yorker and former successful car dealer, who through his own bad choices lost his entire business. He's also divorced from Nancy (Susan Sarandon), his college sweetheart and the one person who knows him better than anyone. Although he still finds the time for his daughter Susan (Jenna Fischer) and her adoring grandson, his role as more of a friend than father or grandfather is starting to wear thin on the family. His girlfriend Jordan (Mary-Louise Parker) is the daughter of a very influential businessman who's on the board of a major auto manufacturer. If Ben can just keep his hubris in check for a little while longer, he will be back as big as ever, but some of the same motivations that lead to his demise are threatening to take him down again, and for good.

Friday, January 29, 2010 at 12:30PM Our friends over at TAOW Marketing are looking for a videographer/editor to document a guerrilla marketing effort in NYC next week from Feb 2-4. It's for the launch of the Adidas/Star Wars collaboration. 2 days will be hanging out with the marketing team and documenting their tactics around town (there’s a pop up video van and some stormtroopers involved).. and then also documenting their main event, which will be at the Adidas Originals store. Snoop Dogg may be in attendance.
They'll want 1 and maybe 2 little videos cut from the footage - at the moment they're saying 1 of the guerrilla marketing and 1 of just the event. Budget is small, but is somewhat negotiable.
Any interested parties should email or call Matthew Moss at TAOW, matthew@taowmarketing.com. He's asked that "star wars" be in the subject line so he'll know to look at it immediately. Or call him on 503.228.1134.
Cheers!
