Indie publicist Adam Kersh (formerly of 42West) sent me this video of Daddy Longlegs co-director Benny Safdie in a recent sandwich-board attempt to attract attention for his film, which opens Friday, 5.14 on one screen at the IFC Center. “Benny took to the streets last weekend to make sure he had a few more people on his side as Daddy Longlegs goes head-to-head with Robin Hood (opening on 3,000+ screens),” etc.
Daddy Longlegs is a movie about fathering, or more particularly “a swan song to excuses and irresponsibilities; to fatherhood and self-created experiences, and to what its like to be truly torn between being a child and being an adult.”
