Richard Beymer’s Before the Big Bang

Apr 06, 2016
Screening at Seattle Art Museum
Co-presented with Seattle Art Museum
This funny, spiritually questing, absolutely unique film chronicles the sixteen-year efforts of actor-filmmaker Richard Beymer (West Side Story, Twin Peaks) and novelist Rudy Wilson (The Red Truck) to make a film of Wilson’s book.
We are immersed in their friendship, their creative process, segments of the film they’ve already shot, and an ongoing discourse on the nature of reality that merges art and life.
