THE MOMENT WHEN

Screenwriter/Director: James Lapine

At a fashionable New York party hosted by a legendary literary agent, Steven meets two women - and by the end of the evening, the course of their lives for the next fifteen years is set in motion. THE MOMENT WHEN tracks the successes and failures of career, marriage, parenthood and friendship, marking those moments that may pass unnoticed but determine who we become.

James Lapine is regarded as one of the preeminent artists working in the contemporary theater and film today. Distinguished as both a writer and a director, he has been nominated for eleven Tony Awards, winning on three occasions. His work has also been recognized with six Drama Desk Awards, an Obie Award, the British Evening Standard Award, an Olivier Award and the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Drama. He has directed the films IMPROMPTU with Hugh Grant and Judy Davis, LIFE WITH MIKEY with Michael J. Fox, and EARTHLY POSSESSIONS with Susan Sarandon, as well as the television productions of INTO THE WOODS and PASSION. Mr. Lapine is perhaps best known for his Broadway collaborations as librettist and director with Stephen Sondheim: SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, INTO THE WOODS, and PASSION.
