Set Fire To The Stars

Streaming video - 2015

Based on true events, Elijah Wood stars as John Malcolm Brinnin, the New York academic who brought Dylan Thomas to America. Actor/co-writer Celyn Jones plays the volatile celebrity poet – tormented by anonymity, alcohol and the abyss – who scandalized the Manhattan literati of the 50s. In the face of his wilder excesses in the Big Apple, John has no choice but to hijack Dylan to a private retreat to get him ready for America. The days and nights that follow will change his life forever. Winner of Best Original Music and Best Production Design and nominated for Best Feature Film and Best Screenwriter at the **BAFTA Awards**. Nominated for Best British Feature Film at the **Edinburgh International Film Festival**. *"Gorgeous, evocati...ve and well performed ..." - Gary Goldstein, **Los Angeles Times*** *"Stylistically assured and tastefully appointed." - Mark Jenkins, **NPR***
