July
24, 2007, Stony Brook, NY -- Veteran actors Christopher Plummer and M.
Emmet Walsh along with writer and director Michael Schroeder, producer Sarah
Schroeder, and Editor Terry Cafaro attended the East Coast Premiere of “Man in
the Chair” at the Stony Brook Film Festival on Monday night. "Man in the
Chair" screened to a sold-out house of over 1000. The film is the story of
a rebellious teenager making a film with the help of the retired filmmakers living
at the Motion Picture Retirement Home. The actors’ entertaining remarks charmed
the audience and everyone was reluctant to end the Q&A.
