MAX DAGAN
This Closing Night film for the 40th Boston Film Festival will have actors Zachary Gordon (“Diary of a Whimpy Kid”) and Lindsay Dresbach (“Danger of Party Island”) along with Director Terre Weisman and Producer Rafi Jacobs at the Rockport showing.
Synopsis: After his father is sentenced to 15 years for the manslaughter of a California State Trooper, Max Dagan fights to uncover the truth and get his now terminally-ill parent out of prison with a compassionate release. Max must open up old wounds, including seeking the help of his estranged uncle and the daughter of the dead trooper, to find the evidence that could set his father free. In a race against time, two divided families discover they have more in common than they think.
