Summary
Aging actor Lester Rosenthal (Gabriel Byrne - *The Usual Suspects, Miller's Crossing*) has lost his way. In this often humorous, yet warmly poignant story, love and friendship, jealousy and re-discovery, career, family, and friends (Nathan Lane - *The Birdcage, The Producers*) intertwine as Lester navigates the perplexing realities facing so many of us as we pursue dreams and dignity. A film about hanging out, hanging in, and hanging on. Winner! Best Ensemble - **Port Townsend Film Festival** *"NO PAY, NUDITY has a quality that has become increasingly rare in contemporary film: it is profoundly human. There's not a bad acting moment in it, and the scale of director Lee Wilkof and writer Ethan Sandler's film is modest but possessed of a sophisticated philosophical intelligence. It's a surefooted piece of filming and a wonderfully rendered character-driven investigation of hope and envy, resentment and despair, acceptance and frailty."* - Amy Glynn, ***Paste Magazine*** *"...Warm, deeply funny, sensitive and, in its way, essential. Intimate in scope but expansive in feeling, this charmer stars Gabriel Byrne and - in one of the finest performances of his remarkable career - Nathan Lane in a fat suit. It's the best film about the actor's life since BIRDMAN."* - Jeremy Gerard, ***Deadline***
