A hit at the 2008 Toronto Film Festival and winner of best narrative feature at the AFI Dallas International Film Festival, Gigantic is Matt Aselton’s feature directorial debut and starring include Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood, Little Miss Sunshine), Zooey Deschanel (Yes Man, The Happening) and John Goodman.
Brian Weathersby (Paul Dano) is a single, 28 year-old salesman at a high-end Swedish mattress store. The youngest son in a trio of successful brothers, a shady oil man (Ian Roberts), a surgeon (Robert Stanton), and the afterthought child to elderly parents (Ed Asner, Jane Alexander), Brian is searching for his place in the world.
This is a funny, surreal love story about the anxiety that comes along when two people with crazy families collide unexpectedly and fall for each other.
