PALM SPRINGS, CA, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The critically acclaimed ‘Waltzing with Brando,’ starring Billy Zane (Titanic, Dead Calm) and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, Blades of Glory), will screen tomorrow, January 7, 2025, at the Palm Springs International Film Festival (PSIFF). The screening will take place at the Annenberg Theater, followed by an exclusive Q&A session with Zane, Heder, and Writer/Director Bill Fishman.

A Fascinating True Story
Based on architect Bernard Judge’s memoir, ‘Waltzing with Brando' chronicles his partnership with Marlon Brando to design and build the world’s first self-sustaining eco-resort on the Tahitian island of Tetiaroa. Set against the backdrop of one of Brando’s boldest visions, the film highlights the challenges of marrying environmental innovation with Hollywood dreams.

Directed by Bill Fishman (Tapeheads, Car 54, Where Are You?), the ensemble cast includes Camilla Razat (Emily in Paris), Alaina Huffman (Painkiller Jane), and Academy Award winner Richard Dreyfuss (The Goodbye Girl, Jaws). Billy Zane’s portrayal of Brando is earning widespread praise for its depth and nuance.

Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull) on Waltzing with Brando
“Billy Zane takes his portrait of Marlon Brando to another level. Maddening complex and contradictory, Zane's Brando is as close as we’ll get to this human enigma,” said legendary screenwriter Paul Schrader, underscoring the film’s appeal as both a cinematic achievement and a study of Brando’s enduring legacy.
