Josh Radnor Wants More, Please

Josh Radnor stopped by 92YTribeca this week for a preview screening of his new film, happythankyoumoreplease, which is now playing in select theaters in New York and Los Angeles. If you missed the screening and Q&A at 92YTribeca, The New York Times published a charming profile of Radnor last week, including a review of his latest film:

For the past few years the actor Josh Radnor has been trafficking in two very different New Yorks. The one he works in more often is located in Los Angeles. That’s where Mr. Radnor films “How I Met Your Mother,” the CBS sitcom about five friends in Manhattan — or at least studio-set version of the city: clean sidewalks, perfect outfits and brownstones for everybody.

This New York bears little resemblance to the one portrayed in the indie coming-of-age film “Happythankyoumoreplease,” Mr. Radnor’s debut film, which he wrote, directed and stars in. “I wanted this to be a below-14th Street movie,” Mr. Radnor, 36, said over lunch in SoHo. “I said to the costume designer: ‘No new clothes. Shop at thrift stores. These kids don’t have money.’ ” He was often frustrated that “it’s hard to show how small New York apartments are in a movie,” he said, “because you can’t fit a whole crew inside them.”

The full article is here.

Tonight at 92YTribeca Film is Straight to Hell Returns with director Alex Cox in conversation with Jim Jarmusch following the screening.
