HDNet Movies DAY & DATE PREMIERE – Films premiering on HDNet Movies, in Theaters and on DVD Fay Grim – Premieres Friday, May 18th at 8:30pm and 11:00pm This new film by maverick writer/director Hal Hartley stars indie veteran Parker Posey (SUPERMAN RETURNS, BEST IN SHOW, DAZED & CONFUSED) as Fay Grim, a single mom living in Woodside, Queens, preoccupied with raising her 14 year old son, Ned, so he won't grow up to be like his father Henry. Seven years ago, Henry accidentally killed a vicious neighbor and fled, never to be seen or heard from again. Meanwhile, Fay’s brother Simon has been serving ten years in prison for aiding Henry’s escape. In the quiet of his cell, Simon has had time to think about the tumultuous times Henry’s presence has caused them – chronicled in Hartley’s earlier film HENRY FOOL (1998) - and has come to suspect that Henry might not be the man he appeared to be. His suspicions are validated when Fay is approached by CIA Agent Fulbright to travel to Paris to retrieve Henry’s property. From there, her mission turns into a sprawling con-game pitching Fay deep into the world of international espionage.

Hal Hartley is an award-winning writer/director whose accolades include Best Screenplay (Cannes 1998) and the Sundance Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award (1990, 1991).

An HDNet Films/Zero Film co-production.

Cast: Parker Posey, Jeff Goldblum, Saffron Burrows, James Urbaniak, Liam Aiken
