Chicago – Thursday, May 31st, marks the beginning of the CineYouth Festival, sponsored by the Chicago International Film Festival. And what better way to kick it off than with a Q&A featuring director Jonathan Levine, coming off of his 2011 hit film, “50/50.” The appearance will take place at the AMC River East 21 Theater in Chicago.
Levine began his career with a short film called “Shards” in 2004, and then broke out with his feature debut, “All the Boys Love Mandy Lane” in 2006. He followed that up with “The Wackness” – starring Ben Kingsley and Josh Peck – two years later, which he directed from his own screenplay. It was a chance letter to the production team of “50/50” that got him that film, and the poignant comedy was a notable hit in 2011. Levine has just finished post-production for “Warm Bodies,” which is scheduled to be released next year.
