Josh Mond‘s directorial debut “James White” debuts at Sundance this month and TheWrap has exclusively obtained the first image of Cynthia Nixon as Christopher Abbott‘s mother.
Premiering on Friday, Jan. 23 at 2:30 p.m. at the Library Center Theatre, “James White” explores loss and the deep relationship between a mother and son.
Abbott, who can currently be seen in “A Most Violent Year,” stars as the title character — a troubled twenty-something trying to stay afloat in a frenzied New York City.
James retreats into a self-destructive, hedonistic lifestyle, but a series of setbacks concerning his mother’s battle with a serious illness forces James to take control of his life.
