Like Sunday, Like Rain

LIKE SUNDAY, LIKE RAIN tells the story of Reggie, a 12 year old rich prodigy who lives in a castle in New York, surrounded by wealth but living a lonely life as his parents are frequently absent.  Eleanor is a young musician going through the pains of growing up, who is having problems with her boyfriend and was recently fired from her job.  Making matters worse, she finds herself with no place to live and far from her unsupportive family. In a desperate attempt to find a new job, she finds herself at the home of Barbara, Reggie’s mom, and is hired to take care of the young boy. She is surprised by Reggie’s intelligence and street smarts but is worried about his odd behavior of avoiding riding in cars, skipping summer camp and only having one friend, Raj.   Little by little they both learn about each other lives until an emergency forces Eleanor to visit her family in Upstate New York.   After unsuccessfully trying to find a replacement, she takes Reggie with her where he is exposed to a whole different world.  This is a beautiful story about discovery and acceptance.

WRITER AND DIRECTOR

Frank Whaley

An illustrious career spanning thirty years, critically acclaimed actor, independent film icon, stage veteran, writer/director, Frank Whaley's diverse career includes work in some of the greatest films of our time (Pulp Fiction, Born on the Fourth of July, J.F.K., Field of Dreams) to cult classics (The Doors, The Freshman, Swing Kids, Career Opportunities).  His unlimited range is apparent in unforgettable roles in comedy from Curb Your Enthusiasm to Swimming With Sharks, to dramatic turns in such films as World Trade Center, Broken Arrow, and Hoffa, and in incomparably chilling portrayals in such thrillers as As Good As Dead, and Vacancy.  His work has always been uncompromising and indelibly unique, or as Roger Ebert once referred to him, "The un-label-able Frank Whaley."  Frank can currently be seen in the Showtime series, Ray Donovan, opposite Liev Schreiber and Jon Voight. He made his writing-directorial debut in his own independent film, Joe the King, in 1999, featuring his Doors costar Val Kilmer and longtime friend and colleague Ethan Hawke in starring roles. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and earned Whaley the prestigious Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award. His second film as writer and director, The Jimmy Show, starred Whaley and Carla Gugino. This film also premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
