Lodge Kerrigan takes us into the disturbing world of KEANE

We first meet William Keane (Damian Lewis, Golden Globe-nominee "Band of Brothers," DREAMCATCHER, "The Forsythe Saga") in the Port Authority bus terminal where he is desperately searching for his six-year-old daughter, who has been missing for months. Repeatedly drawn to the site of the purported abduction, Keane wanders the bus station compulsively going over the events of that fateful day. Veering between days of relentless searching and nights of self-destructive behavior, Keane seems to be teetering precariously on the edge of sanity.

Then one day he meets a financially strapped young woman, Lynn Bedik (Amy Ryan, YOU CAN COUNT ON ME) and her seven-year-old daughter, Kira (Abigail Breslin, RAISING HELEN), who are also staying at the same transient motel in New Jersey. As he becomes increasingly attached to the child, the story moves to a whole new level of poignancy and tension, as Keane searches for redemption through the little girl.

Working in a handheld verité style, director Kerrigan and director of photographer, John Foster, plunge us directly into Keane's profoundly unsettled universe. Damian Lewis‚ riveting, visceral performance of a man grappling with the effects of a profound loss makes KEANE a complex, deeply humane and unforgettable portrait.

KEANE was an official selection at the Telluride, Toronto and New York Film Festivals and was included in Director's Fortnight at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.
