Watch the trailer for director Ben Lewin’s THE SESSIONS, starring John Hawkes, William H. Macy and Helen Hunt. The film saw the Audience Award (Dramatic) and the Special Jury Prize for ensemble acting (Dramatic) at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. It was announced at the end of January that Fox Searchlight had acquired worldwide rights to the inspirational true story.

Based on the poignantly optimistic autobiographical writings of California-based journalist and poet Mark O’Brien, THE SESSIONS tells the story of a man confined to an iron lung who is determined–at age 38–to lose his virginity. With the help of his therapists and the guidance of his priest, he sets out to make his dream a reality.

THE SESSIONS will be released October 26th, 2012.
