It’s been a busy summer, with plenty of big films, and arthouse gems. But one independent picture you might’ve overlooked is “Dean.” Directed, written and starring comedian Demetri Martin, the warm indie dramedy deserves a bit more love, and we have DVDs for some lucky readers, to help them catch up.
Co-starring Kevin Kline, Gillian Jacobs, Mary Steenburgen, Reid Scott, Rory Scovel, Christine Woods, Ginger Gonzaga, Peter Scolari and Briga Heelan, the story follows an illustrator whose unwillingness to deal with the recent death of his mother means escaping his hometown of New York for an interview with an ad agency in Los Angeles. His retired engineer dad Robert takes a more regimented approach to grief, including putting the family home up for sale. Both father and son set out on their own paths to find a new normal as unexpected circumstances and potential new love interests threaten to thwart all plans.
