Following his critically acclaimed performance in the multi-Oscar winning The Hurt Locker, Brian Geraghty delivers a mesmerizing turn in Kyle Patrick Alvarez’s provocative debut feature film, winner of Best New International Feature at the Edinburgh Film Festival and multiple awards internationally.
On a road trip across middle-town America to promote his unpublished novel, Davy Mitchell’s life takes an unexpected turn when he is seduced into a phone sex relationship with a mysterious caller named Nicole. What starts out as a distraction soon becomes an obsession, as Davy’s feelings start to develop…
Inspired by Davy Rothbart's autobiographical GQ magazine article "What Are You Wearing?", EASIER WITH PRACTICE is a sincere and heartfelt road movie, set to a popular indie rock soundtrack, exploring the themes of alienation in contemporary society, and how the search for emotional connection can sometimes lead us into desperate situations.
Bonus features include a feature-length commentary with Kyle Patrick Alvarez, Brian Geraghty, Davy Rothbart and Cookie Carosella, “The Making of Easier with Practice”, Video diaries from the set, stills gallery, original theatrical trailer and an exclusive limited edition booklet, including “What Are You Wearing?”, the original Davy Rothbart article which inspired the film, and an exclusive interview with Rothbart.
