KCRW Partner Screening: Wildlife

Film Independent Presents in partnership with KCRW bring you an advance screening of Wildlife from IFC Films. This special KCRW Partner Screening is limited to current KCRW members only.

14-year-old Joe is the only child of Jeanette and Jerry—a housewife and a golf pro—in a small town in 1960s Montana. Nearby, an uncontrolled forest fire rages close to the Canadian border, and when Jerry loses his job—and his sense of purpose—he decides to join the cause of fighting the fire, leaving his wife and son to fend for themselves. Suddenly forced into the role of an adult, Joe witnesses his mother’s struggle as she tries to keep her head above water.

This special screening includes a conversation with writer/director Paul Dano, writer Zoe Kazan and actor Carey Mulligan. As a courtesy to the panelists, we ask that you stay for the conversation.
