MOVIE SCREENINGS
THE ELEPHANT KING
Opening on Friday, October 24th
at the Laemmle Sunset 5 in Los Angeles and the Edwards West Park 8
in Irvine
From the producers of the Sundance sensation, Eagle vs. Shark, and
in the compelling vision of award-winning filmmaker Seth Grossman
comes a timely story of lust, love, jealousy, and finding one's
place in the world.
The Elephant King is a provocative and stirring story of two
American brothers, Oliver and Jake Hunt, adrift in an exotic world
they don't fully understand. The film stars Academy Award® Winner
Ellen Burstyn as a domineering mother who dispatches her young,
introverted son Oliver (Tate Ellington) off to Thailand to do
everything he can to lure his reckless, older brother (Jonno
Roberts) back home to the US to face pending fraud charges. Oliver
finds the intoxication of Thailand hard to resist, especially when
it has a face as alluring as Lek’s (Florence Faivre).
As Oliver falls deeply in love for the first time, Jake slips deeper
into despair, and the seams of their relationship begin to come
undone. When the true extent of Jake's decadence and
self-destruction is revealed to Oliver, he is forced to decide
whether he will save his brother's life or his own.
THE ELEPHANT KING stars Academy Award® Winner Ellen Burstyn, Tate
Ellington, Jonno Roberts, Josef Sommer and Florence Faivre. The film
is written and directed by Seth Grossman and the producers are
Emanuel Michael, Tamar Sela and Tom Waller.
Unison Films will release THE ELEPHANT KING on Friday, October 17th
in New York and Friday, October 24th in Los Angeles and Orange
County.
