New Poster For THE PLAYROOM

Freestyle Releasing and Freestyle Digital Media have released the first poster for THE PLAYROOM starring John Hawkes and Molly Parker.

Set in the suburbs during the 1970s, the story unfolds like a dream wrapped around a family drama, one in which all members of the Cantwell family struggle to find their way in a rapidly changing world. Maggie (newcomer Olivia Harris) is a vulnerable yet tempestuous teenager who acts as big sister and surrogate mother to her three younger siblings. Upstairs in the attic she tells them fantastical stories, but only to mask what is happening downstairs. As her hard-drinking parents, Martin and Donna (Hawkes and Parker), entertain guests, Maggie grapples with their flawed choices and is thrust into a world she might not be ready for.

Directed by Julia Dyer (“Late Bloomers”), the movie premiered in the gala/spotlight section of this year’s Tribeca Film Festival and was produced by Stephen Dyer (“Hysteria”) and Angie Meyer (“Wuss”). THE PLAYROOM is slated for a day and date release on theatrical and DVD/VOD February 8^th, 2013.
