August 7th, 2009 Designer Tom Ford’s First Film Gets Into the Venice Film Festival
Designer-turned-director Tom Ford’s very first movie will premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
Not too shabby.
Ford’s movie, “A Single Man,” starring Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode and Nicholas Hoult, will premiere on Sept. 11.
It will be the final film. Ford’s first directorial effort will be screened in the main competition.
He also co-produced and co-wrote the adaptation of a Christopher Isherwood novel.
The film is set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the peak of the Cuban missile crisis, and tells the tale of a British professor struggling after the death of his longtime partner.
According to Ford’s production company, ““The story is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.”
Ford has said the selection by the prestigious festival was “a great honor.”
You musnt be a very big fan then.
