Writer-producer Ed Solomon squeezed in a quick trip to the west coast over the weekend before returning to work on his upcoming drama series The Spot, a Hulu project filming in Westchester, NY.
He came to the Sonoma International Film Festival in California’s wine country for a screening of The Christophers, a dramedy starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel, with supporting performances by Jessica Gunning and James Corden. And Solomon didn’t go unrewarded – the film won the Stolman Audience Award for Best Film at the 29th edition of SIFF. The writer known for Men in Black, Now You See Me and its sequel, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and its sequel, and No Sudden Move among many other movies watched the screening at the historic Sebastiani Theatre in Sonoma (with his mom in attendance). At a Q&A afterwards, he said he typically skips such screening opportunities.
