Focus Features releases its father/son drama Being Flynn in New York and Los Angeles today; and in additional cities March 9th.

Screenwriter/director Paul Weitz (About a Boy) based the movie on Nick Flynn’s 2004 memoir Another Bulls—t Night in Suck City, exploring both the unbreakable and fragile bonds between parent and child.

Nick Flynn (played by Paul Dano of Little Miss Sunshine) is a young writer seeking to define himself. He misses his loving mother, the late Jody (Julianne Moore). But his father, Jonathan (two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro) is not even a memory, as Nick has not seen the man in 18 years. Suddenly facing eviction from his apartment, Jonathan impulsively reaches out to Nick and the two come face-to-face.

We stopped by the Tribeca Grand Hotel in New York City for the Being Flynn Special Screening to speak with the cast and crew. Hear about the film from them here:
