Director: Matt Tauber

Cast: Anthony LaPaglia, Viola Davis, Isabella Rossellini, Hayden Panetierre, Sebastian Stan, Paul James

Synopsis: THE ARCHITECT, starring Anthony Lapaglia in the title role along with Isabella Rossellini and Viola Davis, is a harrowing and ultimately human story of two very different families. Leo Waters (Lapaglia) is an idealistic architect and patriarch of an affluent, suburban Chicago family. Tonya Neeley (Davis) is a pragmatic activist who is trying to keep her family together while living in one of the city's most drug and crime-infested public housing projects. As part of her ongoing campaign to have the projects torn down and decent housing built in its place, Tonya decides that the one signature she needs more than any other on her petition is that of the projects' original architect, Leo Waters.

Based on David Greig's stage play of the same title, THE ARCHITECT is written and directed by Matt Tauber, founder of Kitchen Theatre Company. Tauber most recently produced Sly Dog Films' THE GREAT NEW WONDERFUL, directed by Danny Leiner. A world premiere at the 2005 TriBeCa Film Festival, THE GREAT NEW WONDERFUL will open theatrically in NYC on June 23rd through First Independent Pictures.

Reciprocally, Leiner produced THE ARCHITECT for Tauber, along with HDNet Films' Jason Kliot and Joana Vicente.
