I Am Syd Stone

Syd Stone used to be on billboards. Now the former A-list actor is in a small town shooting a B-movie, drinking too much, and running from the person he never let himself be. At the hotel bar he meets Matt, a young lawyer on the verge of the biggest case of his career — and their instant connection is anything but friendly. Denis Theriault's tender Canadian drama stars Travis Nelson and Benjamin Charles Watson in a story about fame as the world's most comfortable closet, and the terrifying math of coming out when your livelihood depends on the lie. Intimate, melancholy, and quietly hopeful, I Am Syd Stone asks what a second chance costs when you finally decide to take it.
