SYNOPSIS: Based on a true story. When Rolling Stone reporter and aspiring novelist David Kanter discovers the voice of his generation in David Foster Wallace, he convinces his editor to give him an assignment to join Wallace on the last leg of his promotional book tour. But as he spends more time with Wallace, he begins to realize that maybe he’s also looking for answers to his own questions about himself. Taking cues from Almost Famous, My Dinner with Andre, and The Assassination of Jesse James, emerging auteur James Ponsoldt shows a Richard Linklater-esque flair for capturing conversations about Love, Life, Art, and Meaning.
