Paul Thomas Anderson Presents: BREAKFAST WITH CURTIS, 2012, ZiaFilm7, 84 min. Withdrawn teen Curtis (Jonah Parker) doesn’t know quite what to think when oddball-next-door Syd (Theo Green) asks for help doing business on the Internet - the bookseller had once blown up at him, causing a longstanding rift between the two households. But Curtis agrees, and comes to relish his role as online videographer, bringing a thaw in tensions among the neighbors. Writer-director Laura Colella shot this amiably quirky indie in her own Rhode Island neighborhood, drawing most of the cast from its residents. Nominated for Independent Spirit’s John Cassavetes Award. {Blu ray} Discussion follows with filmmaker Laura Colella, moderated by Paul Thomas Anderson.
