ABOUT THE FILM:

This bittersweet slice-of-life period piece boasts the knock-out ensemble cast of Paul Rudd, Sarah Paulson, Maura Tierney, Ron Eldard, Josh Hamilton, Lauren Ambrose and Ken Marino, who also wrote the script. Set in a working-class community of clamdiggers on Long Island during the election year of 1976, director Katherine Dieckmann's DIGGERS is a heartfelt blend of comedy and drama, focusing on a tightly-knit cluster of friends forced to embrace sudden changes to their small-town way of life.

Recalling character-driven period staples like THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, DINER and BREAKING AWAY, the film’s mood of post-Vietnam and Watergate skepticism relates to the present-day temperament of our country, leavened with a healthy dose of lyricism, tenderness and humor.


ABOUT THE DIRECTOR:

Writer-director Katherine Dieckmann has made four feature films: STRANGE WEATHER, MOTHERHOOD, DIGGERS, A GOOD BABY.
