Win Passes To The Advance Screening Of ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL In St. Louis
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL is the uniquely funny, moving story of Greg (Thomas Mann), a high school senior who is trying to blend in anonymously, avoiding deeper relationships as a survival strategy for navigating the social minefield that is teenage life.
He even describes his constant companion Earl (RJ Cyler), with whom he makes short film parodies of classic movies, as more of a ‘co-worker’ than a best friend. But when Greg’s mom (Connie Britton) insists he spend time with Rachel (Olivia Cooke) – a girl in his class who has just been diagnosed with cancer – he slowly discovers how worthwhile the true bonds of friendship can be.
Fox Searchlight Pictures and Indian Paintbrush present, a Rhode Island Ave. Production, ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL, directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, screenplay by Jesse Andrews, based on his best-selling young-adult novel of the same name and starring Thomas Mann, Olivia Cooke, RJ Cyler, with Nick Offerman, Molly Shannon, Jon Bernthal and Connie Britton.
