The Listener Trailer Is Out
Vertical drops the trailer for a film titled The Listener, directed by Steve Buscemi, revolving around a crisis helpline worker, trying to save someone or herself.
The film stars Tessa Thompson, Rebecca Hall, Derek Cecil, Margaret Cho, Blu del Barrio, Jamie Hector, and Logan Marshall-Green.
Tessa Thompson plays Beth, a helpline volunteer who's part of a small army that gets on the phone every night across America, fielding calls from all kinds of people feeling lonely, broken, hopeless.
Over the last year, the tide has become a tsunami. As Beth goes through her shift, the stakes rise: is this the night she will lose someone? Save someone?
Eventually, Beth’s own story comes to light, revealing why she does it. All along we remain with her: listening, comforting, connecting – patching the world back together, one stitch at a time.
