Write When You Get Work: Filmmaker Screening with Director Stacy Cochran
Friday, March 1! With introduction and post-film Q/A with Director Stacy Cochran.
Write When You Get Work is a thorny romantic comedy set in New York City at a private school for girls and in the world outside its exclusive walls.
Jonny Collins is still in love with Ruth Duffy, and he has been since they were kids. But Ruth has slipped away from him, away from their corner of the Bronx under the Throgs Neck Bridge. She has landed on the lower rungs of the Upper East Side in a job and a small apartment. Then Jonny spots her, and locked doors and windows can’t prevent him from breaking back into her life. She can barely stand the sight of him and yet she can hardly breathe without him.
Love and money. Crime and happiness. The fizz among strangers. And the bonds between us.
Directed by Stacy Cochran.
Rated: Not Rated
Runtime: 99 minutes.
