Stanley's Gig

An emotional powerhouse with star-studded performances, this festival favorite is one of the most unexpectedly moving and emotionally-charged films of the year. Inspired by real life characters, the film tells the story of Stanley Myer, a down-on-luck musician with a lifetime of failed relationships, but one very big dream: to play his ukulele on a cruise line to Hawaii. Stanely lands a gig at a nursing home where he strikes up an unlikely relationship with an ancient jazz chanteuse, Eleanor, and awakens from a lifetime of loneliness and inconsequence. Events unfold that not only help him discover who he is, but eventually change the course of his life.

'Emmy' and 'Golden Globe' multi-award nominee, Marla Gibbs, delivers another powerhouse performance, and Faye Dunaway is flawless in one of the most understated roles of her career.
