Variety reports that Monterey Media has bought the U.S. and Canada rights to Lee Wilkof's comedy drama NO PAY, NUDITY, starring Broadway's Nathan Lane (IT'S ONLY A PLAY), Frances Conroy (THE RIDE DOWN MT. MORGAN), Boyd Gains (AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE), Jeremy Shamos (NOISES OFF), Gabriel Byrnes (LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT) and many more theater favorites.
The film, written by Ethan Sandler, premiered in July at the Stony Brook Film Festival where it picked up the Special Jury Prize Achievement in Filmmaking. The U.S. theatrical launch is planned for this November. NO PAY NUDITY captures all of the drama that happens to actors off camera: the heartbreaks and the joy, but most important, the friendships that keep us going through even the bleak times. The film also stars Francis Conroy, J. Smith Cameron, Austin Pendleton, Mark Blum, Jeremy Shamos, Jeanine Serrales, Zoe Perry, Joel Higgins, Reg Rogers, Peter Jacobson, Alex Draper, John Bedford Lloyd, Cory Michael Smith, Benjamin Sinclair, Danny Binstock, Ellen Foley and Brent Spiner, the comedian Lewis Black, and the incredible Loudon Wainwright III, who created the original music.Videos
