HAPPY ACCIDENTS

Lovelorn, recovering co-dependent Ruby Weaver has just given up on finding the right man when she bumps into Sam Deed, a sweet newcomer from the Midwest. They quickly fall for each other but almost as fast their relationship takes a mysterious turn. Just as Ruby is beginning to relish her first ever “healthy” relationship, Sam begins muttering about being a time traveller from the year 2470. With the advice of her therapist and her best friend Gretchen, Ruby must decide if she and Sam have a future together. Is he truly Mr. Right or simply a charming lunatic with an overactive imagination? But soon it is too late, she’s already in love. With little time to spare, the two must discover if love can change their destiny. Happy Accidents, by acclaimed independent director- writer Brad Anderson (Next Stop Wonderland, Session 9), is a comedy that pays tribute to the science fiction sub-genre of time travel. Inspired by Thomas Vinterberg’s Festen and the way of wor-king of Dogma 95, Anderson wanted to infuse his romantic comedy with spontaneous naturalism. He portrays a contemporary New York city where past and future experiences of trust, commitment and denial are cleverly put to the test. Marisa Tomei (My Cousin Vinny, The Perez Family, What Women Want) is looking for love as Ruby Weaver. Vincent D’Onofrio (Men in Black, Ed Wood, The 13th Floor) could be Mr Wrong or Mr Wright as Sam Deed. With music by Evan Lurie (Johnny Stecchino, Trees Lounge).
