Originally produced by Films We Like in 2017

Acclaimed character actor John Carroll Lynch's directorial debut, LUCKY is at once a love letter to the life and career of Harry Dean Stanton as well as a meditation on mortality, loneliness, spirituality, and human connection. LUCKY follows the spiritual journey of a 90-year-old atheist and the quirky characters that inhabit his small desert town. Having out lived all of his contemporaries, the fiercely independent Lucky finds himself at the precipice of life, thrust into a journey of self exploration, leading towards that which is so often unattainable: enlightenment. Nominated for the Adam Yauch H?rnblow?r Award at the **SXSW Film Festival**. Winner of the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury and nominated for the Golden Lion for Best Film at the **Locarno International Film Festival**. *"John Carroll Lynch, who's worked with everyone from Martin Scorsese to Albert Brooks, doesn't explicitly borrow from any of his directors, though it's clear from his careful precision that he learned a little something from all of them." - Eric Kohn, **indieWire***
