'Big Fan'

'Big Fan' is the directorial debut of Robert Siegel, the screenwriter of 'The Wrestler'. The story is about a lonely sports radio Giants fan, who lives for talking trash to a certain Philadelphia Eagles fan who also calls "WFAN" nightly to pick on the Giants and their fans.

Big Fan is opening in New York on August 28th at the Angelika Film Center, 18 W Houston St, New York, NY 10012. The Angelika has a special coupon book deal of 25 tickets at $7 per ticket. This may interest you and/or your followers. Do note as well that the tickets are good for other screenings and don't all need to be used in one fell swoop.
