Photos from Literary Screening in NYC for A Monster Calls

I'm really excited to be part of the team that helps to promote these amazing films for Focus Features! I am really looking forward to seeing and promoting more of A Monster Calls until it comes to theatres!

Featuring appearances by Patrick Ness, Libba Bray, David Ebershoff, Barry Goldblatt, Jenny Han, Diego Leon, David Levithan, Emily Lockhart, Riva Marker, Daniel José Older, Maria Russo and Martin Salomon Jr. 

A visually spectacular and unabashedly emotional drama from director J.A. Bayona (“The Impossible”). 12-year-old Conor (Lewis MacDougall) is dealing with far more than other boys his age. 

His beloved and devoted mother (Felicity Jones) is ill. He has little in common with his imperious grandmother (Sigourney Weaver). His father (Toby Kebbell) has resettled thousands of miles away. 

 But Conor finds a most unlikely ally when the Monster (portrayed by Liam Neeson in performance-capture and voiceover) appears at his bedroom window one night. Ancient, wild, and relentless, the Monster guides Conor on a journey of courage, faith, and truth that powerfully fuses imagination and reality.
