Sideshow And Janus Films Take Sundance Ben Whishaw & Rebecca Hall Title ‘Peter Hujar’s Day’


Ben Whishaw, Rebecca Hall Movie 'Peter Hujar's Day' Acquired by Sideshow and Janus Films.

Their conversation that day focused on a single 24 hours in the life of Hujar, the uncompromising artist who was one of the most important figures in downtown New York’s legendary cultural scene of the 70s and 80s. Set entirely in Linda’s Manhattan apartment, the film freely and imaginatively recreates that long-ago afternoon and the wonderfully discursive exchange between these two singular individuals. EPs on Peter Hujar’s Day are Lucas Joaquin, Paul Weston, Corin Taylor, and Michelle Jaffe, Martin Kalina, Nicolas Pérez Veiga, and Alfredo Pérez Veiga, Franklin Laviola and Nicholas Laviola, Ellis Fox, Sol Bondy, Nadine Rothschild, and Inés Massa, and Whishaw, Hall and Adam Kersh also serving as executive producer.
