Directed by Patrick Stettner (“The Business of Strangers”), THE NIGHT LISTENER is a psychological thriller based on the international bestselling novel by Armistead Maupin. The story revolves around a celebrated writer and popular late-night radio show host, Gabriel Noone (Robin Williams), who develops an intense phone relationship with a young listener named Pete (Rory Culkin) and his adopted mother (Toni Collette) just as his own domestic life is undergoing drastic changes. When troubling questions arise regarding the boy's identity, it causes Gabriel's ordered existence to spin wildly out of control as he sets out on a harrowing journey to find the truth.

The film also stars Sandra Oh (“Sideways” and “Grey’s Anatomy”) and Bobby Cannavale (“The Station Agent” and “Will & Grace”), and is produced by Robert Kessel, Jeffrey Sharp, John Hart and Jill Footlick.

 The Palm Springs International Film Society is dedicated to nurturing and encouraging new filmmaking talent, honoring the great masters of world cinema and providing audiences with a unique opportunity to engage in an appreciation of and a dialogue about the art of cinema as it is represented around the world.
