Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's

Plot Summary

It's the most mythic of all American emporiums - and the scene of many an ultimate fashion fantasy. Now audiences get a rarified chance to peek behind the backroom doors and into the reality of the fascinating inner workings and fabulous untold stories from Bergdorf Goodman’s iconic history in Matthew Miele's Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's. The legend, the parties, the fashion idols, the windows, the women, the buyers and shoppers -- and most of all, the quintessentially American dreams of New York's high-fashion hot-spot - all come to life in an ode to a realm where creativity and commerce reign equally supreme. With a light touch, Miele explores not just the glamour but the passion behind the daily creation of this luxury mecca in a film as dynamic, lush and intimate as the store itself.

Starbuck

Plot Summary

Patrick Huard stars as David Wozniak, a 42-year old lovable but perpetual screw up who finally decides to take control of his life.  A habitual sperm donor in his youth, he discovers that he’s the biological father of 533 children, 142 of whom are trying to force the fertility clinic to reveal the true identity of the prolific donor code-name Starbuck.

Produced by AndrĂ© Rouleau, the film also stars Julie Le Breton, as David’s long suffering girlfriend who suddenly finds herself pregnant and understandably reluctant to share parenthood with the unreliable David, and Antoine Bertrand, David’s longtime friend, Paul, an attorney who takes on his case while trying to disabuse him of the joys of parenthood.

A runaway box office success in Quebec, STARBUCK premiered at the Toronto Film Festival as a Gala Presentation. English language remake rights for this all too human comedy were sold to Dreamworks. Directed by Ken Scott and starring Vince Vaughn, the American remake is currently set to be released under the title THE DELIVERY MAN on October 4. Entertainment One will release STARBUCK on March 22 in Los Angeles and New York, with a national rollout to follow.
