Matthew Broderick, writer/director Josh Goldin, Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), Philip Baker Hall (ZODIAC), Ally Walker (Sons of Anarchy, HAPPY TEXAS), Grammy Award-winning musician Dan Zanes (latest album "76 Trombones"), WONDERFUL WORLD producers Miranda Bailey (THE OH IN OHIO), Glenn Williamson (SUNSHINE CLEANING) and Matthew Leutwyler (THE OH IN OHIO), WONDERFUL WORLD composer Craig Richey (FRIENDS WITH MONEY, LOVELY & AMAZING) and Gregg Germann (Ally McBeal).Interviews by Amanda VanderpoolSynopsisA bittersweet comedy about families, friends and a frivolous fight against corporate institutions, Matthew Broderick (FINDING AMANDA, "The Producers") plays Ben Singer, a failed children’s folk singer, a newly unemployed proofreader and an every-other-weekend dad to his young daughter (Jodelle Ferland), who prefers pretty much anything to listening to her dad’s pessimistic ramblings.Struggling in all aspects of his life, Ben’s only comforts come from smoking marijuana alone and regular chess games with his smart and opinionated Senegalese roommate Ibou (Michael Kenneth Williams, "The Wire," THE ROAD). When Ibou is suddenly struck ill and an insensitive municipal employee exacerbates the emergency situation, Ben pours his energy into a lawsuit against the city for depraved indifference. Ben’s life begins to turn around with the arrival of Ibou’s beautiful and sexy sister Khadi (Sanaa Lathan, THE FAMILY THAT PREYS) from Senegal, who moves into Ibou’s room in Ben’s apartment. As Ben suspects that it is his own cynicism corroding the beauty around him, he realizes that it’s all a matter of perspective.WONDERFUL WORLD is written and directed by Josh Goldin and stars Matthew Broderick, Michael Kenneth Williams, Sanaa Lathan, Jodelle Ferland, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ally Walker, and Philip Baker Hall. It features original music with a cameo performance by acclaimed musician Dan Zanes, the noted father of the modern independent kids’ music movement.http://www.wonderfulworldfilm.com/***This footage available for licensing for Broadcast and Web*** The viewing of this clip by website visitors is only permissible for personal use; copying, commercial use, distribution, broadcast, download, additional use or transfer is expressly prohibited.
