Trailer For Tessa Thompson's New Drama THE LISTENER Directed By Steve Buscemi
Vertical has released the trailer for director Steve Buscemi’s upcoming drama The Listener, which stars Tessa Thompson. The film centers on Beth, a crisis helpline volunteer who takes calls from people all over the United States who are feeling hopeless. This looks like a moving and emotional film that tells an important story. It’s worth checking out.
Beth is “part of a small army that gets on the phone every night across America, fielding calls from all kinds of people feeling lonely, broken, hopeless. Over the last year, the tide has become a tsunami. As Beth goes through her shift, the stakes rise: is this the night she will lose someone? Save someone? Eventually, Beth’s own story comes to light, revealing why she does it. All along we remain with her: listening, comforting, connecting – patching the world back together, one stitch at a time.”
While Thompson is the only actor seen in the film, the voices over the phone include Rebecca Hall, Derek Cecil, Margaret Cho, Blu del Barrio, Jamie Hector, and Logan Marshall-Green.
Vertical will debut Buscemi's The Listener in select US theaters + on VOD starting March 29th, 2024
