Film Independent Members and Fellows, you and a guest are invited to join us for a theatrical screening of Color Book, including an in-person conversation with writer/director David Fortune, moderated by Angela Lee (Director of Artist Development, Film Independent).

David Fortune is a 2023 recipient of the Film Independent Amplifier Fellowship, where he workshopped Color Book, his debut feature.

Following his wife’s recent passing, a widowed father (Lucky) finds himself navigating the challenges of raising his son (Mason), who has Down syndrome. Seeking solace, Lucky and Mason embark on a journey across metro Atlanta to attend their first baseball game together. Throughout their day-long trip, they experience Murphy’s Law. From car breakdowns to missed trains, the duo faces a series of obstacles that test their relationship with each other. Despite the setbacks, they persevere, determined to reach the game on time. The film offers an intimate portrait of a father-son relationship while exploring grief, connection, and the realities of parenthood over the course of a single weekend.

From Netflix, Color Book premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival and will be released June 19.
