This is Martin Bonner
DIRECTED BY CHAD HARTIGAN
USA, 2012, 84 MIN
EAST COAST PREMIERE
Fifty-something Australian, Martin Bonner (Paul Eenhoorn), has just declared bankruptcy, is a divorced father of two grown kids, an antique seller on eBay in his spare time, a soccer referee, and now is trying speed dating for the first time. Martin has left his old life behind as a church business manager in Maryland. Starting a new chapter in his life in Reno, Nevada, he finds work at a church-based prison rehab program that aids recently released convicts. Travis Holloway (Richmond Arquette) has served his time, and after 12 years, finds himself on the outside under the care of a mentor whose Christian devotion becomes too much for him. Martin and Travis form an unlikely connection, and the two men help each other cope with the changes in their lives. Winner of the audience award for Best of NEXT at Sundance 2013 and boasting two extraordinary lead performances, THIS IS MARTIN BONNER delivers an emotional and natural story of friendship, faith, and second chances.
