Chris Colfer and Polly Bergen Brainstorm “Struck By Lightning”
Ever wonder what goes on behind the marketing campaign of a small indie film like “Struck By Lightning?” Get a glimpse behind the curtain with stars Chris Colfer and Polly Bergen. The teen dramedy is now available on VOD and digital platforms.
What the hell is a tweet? Filmed on location at the Tribeca Film Center, writer/actor Chris Colfer and actress Polly Bergen strategize the marketing campaign behind the upcoming release of Struck By Lightning.
Struck By Lightning tells the story of high school senior Carson Phillips (Colfer), obviously meant for bigger things than his close-minded small town could ever offer. On his path to greatness, destiny intervenes when he is suddenly killed by a bolt of lightning in his school parking lot. In the moments before his death, Carson recounts his last year of high school—including the disappointments and the triumphs—as he worked toward his goal of getting into Northwestern and becoming the editor of The New Yorker.
Penned by Colfer himself and directed by Brian Dannelly, Struck by Lightning also stars Allison Janney, Rebel Wilson, Dermot Mulroney, Christina Hendricks, Angela Kinsey, and Sarah Hyland. Struck by Lightning hits VOD and digital platforms on December 19. Search your zip code and cable provider below to see where Tribeca Film titles are available in your area.
