Please note…

This screening has reached its registration capacity.

Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to watch Standing Up, Falling Down in our Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room, powered by Vision Media. A special pre-recorded conversation with director/producer Matt Ratner and actors/executive producers Billy Crystal and Ben Schwartz is included as part of this screening experience.

After four years of chasing his stand-up comedy dream in Los Angeles, 34-year-old Scott Rollins (Ben Schwartz) has crashed and burned. Hard. Left with little money and a fledgling-at-best “career,” Scott has no choice but to regroup, lick his wounds and return home to his parent’s house in Long Island. While trying to figure out what to do next, Scott pines after his ex, Becky Brookes (Eloise Mumford), a successful photographer who has since married a former mutual friend. On a night out at the bar, Scott strikes up an unlikely friendship with an eccentric dermatologist, Marty (Billy Crystal), who has regrets of his own. Marty and Scott both help each other find the courage to face the failures in their lives.
