First Look at Nate Parker in Jesse Zwick’s drama ‘About Alex’<\/strong>Posted by Wilson Morales<\/p>\n

March 31, 2014<\/p>\n

\"About<\/a>Playing at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival is writer-director Jesse Zwick<\/strong>‘s ‘About Alex,’<\/strong> starring Aubrey Plaza, Max Greenfield, Max Minghella, Jason Ritter, Nate Parker, Jane Levy<\/strong>, and Maggie Grace<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

‘About Alex’ is the story of seven college friends who reunite over a three-day weekend, after one of them attempts suicide. When the friends get together to keep an eye on Alex, the weekend that ensues will renew old crushes and resentments, shine light on bad decisions, and ultimately push friendships and relationships to the brink as the group tries to speculate when the simple life of their college years turned so muddy and complex. Sometimes irreverent, sometimes poetic, and always moving, About Alex is a searingly honest look at the changing nature of adult friendship in the Facebook\/Twitter generation.<\/p>\n

Director Edward Zwick<\/strong> (Glory, Legends of the Fall<\/em>, The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond<\/em>), who is Jesse\u2019s father, is executive producing the project with Marshall Herskovitz<\/strong> (Traffic<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n
