When the lights go out during Hurricane Sandy, Dan falls and butt-dials his ex-girlfriend. Her name also happens to be Sandy. He takes it as a sign to visit her. Mimicking the hurricane’s capacity to cross boundaries, interviews with firefighters who lost their homes during Sandy are intercut with this romantic comedy. The resulting clash of genres creates unexpected juxtapositions that illuminate both the global and local dimensions of the storm.

Fred Won’t Move Out (2012)

WATCH

Starring Elliott Gould, Fred Melamed, and Judith Roberts, Fred Won't Move Out is a Family Drama about two grown children and their aging parents, as they struggle with the decision of whether or not the older generation should continue to stay in the home they have lived for fifty years.

Shot in the house where the director’s parents lived for five decades shortly after they moved out, the film's semi-autobiographical story is memorably acted by a small ensemble cast led by Elliott Gould. Shot in sequence in three weeks with a heady mix of improvisational work by both author Richard Ledes and his cast. The film's personal approach to its subject captures a universal story uniquely told.

Fred Won’t Move Out Was named by the British Film Institute in “the top 10 essential films for actor Elliott Gould“
