COUNTING FOR THUNDER

Southern set, middle-aged coming out story COUNTING FOR THUNDER, featuring standout performances by Emmy Award winner Mariette Hartley ('Ride the High Country' & 'Marnie') and Emmy Award nominee John Heard ('Big' & 'The Pelican Brief') will be released via Wolfe Video on DVD & VOD on May 2nd.


Inspired by his own life experiences, actor/director/writer Phillip Irwin Cooper tells a story of a son's return home to Alabama, where he is faced with caring for his ill mother (Mariette Hartley) and reconciling with his supportive father (John Heard) while also coming out later in life and discovering romantic feelings for a childhood friend from a life he left behind in the deep South.


Featuring nuanced performances from two American acting icons - Mariette Hartley & John Heard as parents coming to terms with gracefully growing older and reconciling family expectations with the complications of real life. COUNTING FOR THUNDER is an original and heartfelt look at Southern family culture and the unique experience of finding your voice and coming out later in life.

SYNOPSIS
COUNTING FOR THUNDER is inspired by the three years when Phillip Irwin Cooper, unlucky in work, money and love, went home to the Gulf Coast of Alabama when his relationship with Caroline, a UCLA college professor, hit the skids -- and at the same time his mother received a dire medical diagnosis. Working through his past with his complicated family, some old high school chums, and the desperate and hilarious southern characters who grace his hometown. COUNTING FOR THUNDER covers many of the same universal themes of love, life, sex and death. Phillip learns more about his mother than he ever bargained for, and more about himself than he ever guessed possible. He ultimately finds his own voice as his mother is regaining hers.
