Woods Hole Film Festival 2009

Diane Ford (Michelle Monaghan), a vivacious young truck driver, leads a carefree life of long-haul trucking, one night stands and all-night drinking until the evening her estranged 11-year-old son shows up at her door. Peter (Jimmy Bennett) hasn't seen his mother since he was a baby and wants Diane as little as she wants him; but with his father Len (Benjamin Bratt) in the hospital, Diane and Peter are stuck with each other - at least for a while. Burdened with this new responsibility and seeing the life of freedom she’s fought for jeopardized, Diane steps reluctantly into her past and looks sidelong at a future that is not as simple or straightforward as she had once believed. Trucker, written and directed by James Mottern, in his directorial debut, also stars Nathan Fillion and Joey Lauren Adams. Lead actress, Michelle Monaghan (Eagle Eye, Made of Honor, The Heartbreak Kid, Gone Baby Gone, Mission Impossible: III) and Writer, Director James Mottern will attend the screening.
