Win Passes To THE BIG YEAR Screening In St. Louis

Everyone is searching for something – and Stu Preissler (Steve Martin), Brad Harris (Jack Black) and Kenny Bostick (Owen Wilson) are determined to not only find their “something,” but to be the very best at it. Like this intrepid, continent-trotting trio, most of us dream about being at the top – whether it be as the supreme athlete, the best-selling author, or maybe the award-winning artist. It can be anything, but ideally it’s something you’re passionate about.
For Stu, Brad and Kenny, that means being the world’s greatest….birder.
In THE BIG YEAR, an extraordinary race becomes a transformative journey for wealthy industrialist Stu, computer code-writer Brad, and successful contractor Kenny, who race across the continent on a Big Year, a whirlwind competition to see who can spot the most species of birds in North America within one calendar year.
Director David Frankel says that the depth of the casting had much to do with “the guys at the top” – Martin, Black and Wilson. “I think a lot of people would be thrilled to work with any one of those guys, and, for the other actors, the opportunity of working with all three of them was a dream come true.”
