Downtown Owl

Directed by Hamish Linklater, Lily Rabe

Produced by TPC, Lucky 13 Productions

A character-driven ensemble portrait of small-town life in 1980s North Dakota, where depression and isolation are interrupted by a catastrophic blizzard that forces connection and reckoning.

In 1983 Owl, North Dakota, the lives of three residents – elderly Horace, who spends his afternoons reminiscing in the local coffee shop; teenage Mitch, depressed backup quarterback star player-power-horse; and newly appointed high school English teacher Julia – along with those of the town's other residents, are upended by a historic whiteout blizzard.
