Press release
TERRI
Opens on Friday, July 1 in New York and Los Angeles
On behalf of ATO Pictures, the Sundance and SXSW festival hit TERRI. Produced by the team behind BLUE VALENTINE and HALF NELSON, the latest feature from Azazel Jacobs (MOMMA’S MAN) stars John C. Reilly (CYRUS, CHICAGO) and newcomer Jacob Wysocki (“Huge”) in a moving and often funny story about the relationship between an oversized teen misfit and the garrulous but well-meaning vice principal who reaches out to him.
TERRI will open theatrically on Friday, July 1, 2011 in New York (and LA) at the Angelika Film Center and the Lincoln Plaza Cinemas.
A gentle giant of a teenager, Terri has been abandoned by his parents to an ailing uncle (Creed Bratton of “The Office”), is mercilessly teased by his peers, and has set off alarm bells in his high school by showing up for school still wearing pajamas—when he decides to show up at all.
Resigned to his outsider status, Terri is surprised when his tough-talking vice principal, Mr. Fitzgerald, takes an interest in him. Under Fitzgerald’s tutelage, Terri befriends a pair of fellow misfits, Chad (Bridger Zadina), an edgy loner whose rebellion masks his own insecurities, and Heather (Olivia Crocicchia), a sexually precocious girl whose beauty proves to be a trap of its own. The three teenagers, so different on the surface, but all outcasts in the rigid high school hierarchy, find an unexpected, imperfect bond that reflects the tenuousness, poignance and pathos of the adolescent experience.
Deftly combining dark, even uncomfortable elements with wry humor and compassion, Jacobs tells Terri’s story with delicacy and complex emotionality, as the young man learns to reach outside his insular world and find a place that still feels like home.
A film about the courage it takes to build relationships and the rewards of taking that sometimes terrifying leap, TERRI is for anyone who ever felt alone or misunderstood in high school. In other words, all of us.
