Mark Romanek's feature
stars ROBIN WILLIAMS in a role that has been described as:
"the most significant image overhaul since Travolta traded
up from Look Who's Talking to Pulp Fiction." (Gear Magazine)
Academy Award(s) winner Williams portrays
Sy Parrish, a lonely photo technician at the local SavMart.
When events threaten to disrupt the lives of the picture perfect
family he has become obsessed with, Parrish will stop at nothing
to preserve the homelife he has grown to think of as his own.
Box Office Magazine commented "Not since American Beauty
has a film so effectively skewered the American Dream."
One Hour Photo marks the screenwriting and
directorial debut of veteran music video director MARK ROMANEK.
During his eleven-year career, Romanek has made groundbreaking
videos for artists including Madonna, Beck, Lenny Kravitz,
Macy Gray, David Bowie, R.E.M., Janet Jackson and has received
numerous accolades, including more than a dozen MTV Video
Awards, two Grammys and three Billboard Music Awards. Two
of Romanek's music videos, Madonna's 'Bedtime Story' and Nine
Inch Nails's 'Closer' have become part of the permanent collection
of New York's Museum of Modern Art. In 1997, MTV presented
Romanek with the prestigious Video Vanguard award honouring
his unprecedented achievement in the art of music video.
