(Los Angeles, CA) Seminal Films is pleased to announce the release of the dramatic
comedy, ‘Lucky Days’, Angelica Torn’s award-winning directorial
debut and the last film produced by Paul Newman. It is also the last movie filmed
in the Coney Island Amusement Park, offering a final glimpse into the faded
glory of this historical destination that has been lost forever.
Virginia (Angelica Torn) embarks on a quest for freedom during the last explosive
weekend of Coney Island's renowned amusement park. After the reappearance of
her childhood sweetheart (Luke Zarzecki), Virginia discovers hidden truths about
her boyfriend (Federico Castelluccio) and her neighborhood that will force her
to abandon everything she's ever known to the wolf pack of developers buying
up and tearing down the boardwalk, or to sacrifice herself to the world that
created her.
‘Lucky Days’ is a fresh, darkly romantic film that won Best Feature
at the 2009 Coney Island Film Festival and also received the Remi Award at the
2009 Worldfest. The Dallas Observer says, “Angelica Torn’s luminescent
performance beautifully carries the film, which casts a beguiling spell in the
manner of director Alan Rudolph’s early work.” Sandra Bernhard praises
the film’s “shattering dialogue, brilliant acting and fine-tuned
direction” and The USA Film Festival calls it “A knockout!”
The film also stars Oscar award-winning actor Rip Torn, Federico Castelluccio
(TV’s The Sopranos) and Will Patton (Remember The Titans). It is written
and directed by Angelica Torn, produced by Luke Zarzecki of Torn Page Productions,
and Executive Produced by Rui Da Silva and Mathius Mack Gertz of Seminal Films.
‘Lucky Days’ is starting its limited theatrical release May 10,
2010 in Boston, MA at the Coolidge Corner Theater. It will also be in Grand
Rapids, MI on May 24, Weyauwega, WI on May 28, and Los Angeles, CA on June 18.

The ‘Lucky Days’ DVD will be released on August 10, 2010 by E1 Entertainment.
A portion of the theatrical and DVD sales will be donated to Promoting Awareness,
Victim Empowerment (PAVE), a national, grassroots nonprofit organization that
uses education and action to shatter the silence of sexual and domestic violence.
