Sacha Pictures Lisa Robinson lisa.robinson@mac.com Before the Sun Explodes Director: Debra Eisenstadt Screenwriters: Debra Eisenstadt, Zeke Farrow WORLD PREMIERE | USA | 2016 | 80 MIN Ken Cooper was a successful comedian in the 1990's, but his single-guy jokes are irrelevant twenty years later. Now he's an anxiety ridden, stay-at-home dad, clinging to a TV show dream that his breadwinner wife doesn't believe in. Tonight could be a big break for Ken – a final shot at selling his pitch. But after an epic fight with his wife, Ken's no longer welcome home. Their clash alters everything- on stage and off. Ken's crushed, with nowhere to turn, until he meets Holly; a bright, charismatic comedienne, who lures him out of his shell and into her bizarre world. Their very real connection leads to a somewhat surreal, unforgettable and possibly unforgivable night.
