From a Conchord To Vampire... To Rom-Com Dad

The Leonard Lopate Show | Aug 12, 2015

Actor Jemaine Clement (of "Flight of the Conchords") makes his leading-man debut in writer Jim Strouse's new film, “People, Places, Things.” Will Henry (played by Clement) is a Brooklyn-based cartoonist and professor at the School of Visual Arts whose life is turned upside down on his twin girls’ fifth birthday party when he discovers his wife is unfaithful. One year later, Will is forced to navigate the unknown landscape of single fatherhood and dating in New York City, while remaining an inspiration for his students and coming to terms with himself both as a father as an artist. The film opens August 14th at the IFC Center and on VOD.
