As part of this campaign, “99 Homes” has partnered with North Texas Food Bank for a series of “good deed” initiatives. These include inviting the staff and volunteers of the North Texas Food Bank to one of our advance screening of the “99 Homes.” Executing a canned food drive at one of our advance screening of “99 Homes” where the first 99 people to bring a canned good item will be awarded a “99 Homes” prize pack, canned items benefiting the North Texas Food Bank.
“99 Homes” is written and directed by Ramin Bahrani (“Chop Shop,” “Man Push Cart”) and stars Andrew Garfield (“The Amazing Spiderman,” “The Social Network”) as Dennis Nash, a single father trying to take care of his mother, played by Laura Dern (“Wild,” “The Fault in Our Stars”) and young son after being evicted from their home. Nash becomes so desperate to provide for his family that he goes to work for Rick Carver played by Michael Shannon (“Man of Steel,” “Boardwalk Empire”) – the very man who evicted him from his home in the first place. “99 Homes” is produced by Ashok Amritraj, Kevin Turen, Justin Nappi and Bahrani.
