| Oscar nominated and iconic screen actor William H. Macy makes his directorial debut with KEEP COMING BACK, a highly original and occasionally outrageous coming of ager starring Mos Def, Steve Buscemi and William H Macy himself. It’s The Graduate meets Little Miss Sunshine!
In KEEP COMING BACK young Taylor Ogburn has a problem. He has a ‘very weird heart’ that, whenever things get a bit too much, is prone to go racing off and nearly kill him. As a consequence he’s led a very sheltered life, and though he’s eighteen years old – he’s really never lived a day… After suffering yet another near fatal heart attack, Taylor meets the stunning Krystal, a recovering alcoholic ex-stripper, with all the right attributes to get his heart racing again. And after years of living quietly, Taylor decides that now’s the time to grow up and confront the danger embedded in his chest. Instantly and deeply in love, he follows Krystal in to an AA meeting, where she mistakes Taylor for a recovering alcoholic. And so as not to disappoint the woman of his dreams, Taylor goes along with it. Smartening down his preppy act pretty quickly, and with a little help from his older brother Campbell, and Krystal’s son Bobby, Taylor starts living life to the full. But things get complicated when Satan makes an appearance – along with a very jealous ex pimp – and not to mention whether or not Taylor’s shaky heart can hold on long enough for him to finally learn the meaning of love… KEEP COMING BACK is a charming and touching allegory of the struggles of growing up, and about finally overcoming the fear of becoming an adult. |
