Chris Masterson was at the premiere of Yes Man in Westwood, California earlier this month. Its a new film starring Jim Carrey that co-stars Chris’s brother Danny.
Chris did a short interview talking about his movies The Art of Travel and Made for Each Other and that he will be attending the Sundance Festival. He mentions a new club Downstairs in Park City, Utah and from the website it states its run by his brother Danny but I guess Chris is involved too sometimes.
The Art of Travel produced by and starring Christopher Masterson is out on DVD after a variety of film festival screenings. See our previous post for a trailer and more details.
As we reported last year Chris is starring in a new film Made for Each Other. It’s a comedy which centers around Dan (Masterson), a newlywed who cheats on his wife, Marcy (Bijou Phillips), and decides the only way to redeem himself is for her to cheat back — so he sets off to find the right man for the job.
The 4,801-square-foot house in the Los Feliz section has four bedrooms and five bathrooms. It was built in 1939. This is a grand, old traditional house with a mahogany-paneled library, formal gardens in the back and a horseshoe driveway that beckons a limo. And there are separate maid’s quarters with full bath.
The Art of Travel produced by and starring Christopher Masterson, had it’s North American première in January at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in Palm Springs, California. The film had two screenings on January 9 and 10, 2008. See our previous post for more details.
Synopsis: Conner Layne graduated at the top of his high school class, found a wife-to-be and was ready for Berkeley when life threw a wrench in his plans. Though he may have intended on running away, Conner leaps ahead onto a better path.
Though it begins lightly with the valedictorian (“Malcolm in the Middle’s” capable Christopher Masterson) about to wed his young bride, circumstances find the traveler alone in a foreign country unable to speak the tongue, robbed of both money and naïveté. What could continue as a hostel-hopping romp instead leads to a test of motivation.
Just as Conner prepares to return home, he meets a couple who have planned an expedition to cross the Darién Gap dividing Central and South America between Panama and Columbia. Impassable by foot, impossible by car, the area represents the only hole in the Pan American Highway. The crew of seven push and drag a jeep of supplies through water, in mud and over rocks to reach the other side. Why? The question becomes why not.
Review: Emerging director Thomas Whelan created with Brian LaBelle the sort of story anyone hopes to tell his grandchildren and the kind of movie through “The Art of Travel” that tempts viewers to head to the airport with no planned destination.
Chris and Darlene Loren act as parental guides to the young wisecrackers, and time is passed by all with jokes and sympathetic muscle aching. During the year it takes to cross the passage, they are introduced to hostile guerillas and friendly natives, but the story never hovers in distracting action or ethnocentric melodramas. Rather, the film focuses on the need for a connection with other cultures and a better understanding of our own ethnic backgrounds.
The film is a love letter to wanderlust. It is for anyone who has considered trading in their return ticket home for a one-way ticket to someplace far outside of the usual comfort zone and anyone who has groaned over the standard two-week American vacation limit. No one in the film is snapping photos or writing postcards; everyone is absorbing an experience that will better shape them as living beings.
Whelan’s film may not be perfectly polished, but he holds promise for a smooth future. The central character evolves with the film, which only gets better as the minutes pass. The film is not merely a travelogue, but rather motivation to check the expiration on your passport.
