Northwest Film Forum board member, local film hero and Stranger Genius award winner Megan Griffiths presents her first set-in-Seattle feature with Lucky Them, starring Toni Collette, as Ellie, a jaded rock journalist. Assigned to investigate the disappearance of an enigmatic Seattle rock herowho just so happens to be a former flingEllie is faced with the challenge of reconciling the past and moving forward.

Tagging along with her is a dilettante documentarian, played by the scene-stealing Thomas Haden Church. A music-filled, drunken road trip ensues, and Ellie's soul-searching sojourn leads toward a well-earned, poignant denouement. Made with Griffith's trademark non-judgmental humor, Lucky Them was a hit at the recent Toronto Film Festival.
