ALAN CUMMING AND GARRET DILLAHUNT SHACK-UP

 BY: CHRISTOPHER DONALDSON

 A heavy layer of 1970s grit settles over the new period drama, Any Day Now, written, produced and directed by filmmaker Travis Fine (The Space Between) and starring Alan Cummings, Garret Dillahunt, Frances Fisher and newcomer Isaac Leyva.

Cumming and Dillahunt star as the gay couple—the former an aging drag performer, and the latter a closeted Deputy District Attorney—who decide to adopt an abandoned teenager with Down Syndrome (played by Isaac Leyva, an actor with Down Syndrome). Fisher plays the hard-headed family court judge overseeing the couple’s adoption case with grip and grace.

Even though the film is based upon a script written by George Arthur Bloom more than 30 years ago, many say that the results seem utterly relevant and fresh, pulsing with life and stirring depth.

“I’m a huge fan of the gritty, character-driven dramas that were made during the 1970′s,” said Fine . “Any Day Nowoffers me an opportunity as a filmmaker to revisit that time period cinematically, address social issues that are just as relevant today as they were 35 years ago and explore unique characters who discover love in the most unlikely of places.”

Wayne Smith and Dan Skahan, a gay couple who have fostered more than 30 children, executive produced along with Anne O’Shea (The Kids Are All Right).
