Writer/Director/Comedian Demetri Martin stars alongside Academy Award winner Kevin Kline in a comedic and heartfelt tale about a father and son coming to terms with love, loss and everything in between.
Martin plays Dean, an illustrator whose unwillingness to deal with the recent death of his mother means escaping his hometown of New York for an interview with an ad agency in Los Angeles. His retired engineer dad Robert (Kline) takes a more regimented approach to grief, including putting the family home up for sale. Both father and son set out on their own paths to find a new normal as unexpected circumstances and potential new love interests threaten to thwart all plans.
As you can see from the trailer it features some trademark comedic bits from Martin. Including his drawings and general comedic timing that I personally have grown to love.
DEAN was the 2016 winner of Tribeca Film Festival’s Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature.
In select theaters June 2nd. Until then check out the trailer below.
