Wes Anderson ’s adaptation of Roald Dahl ’s short story The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is only 37 minutes long. When time-poor Teddy wakes up the morning after his wedding to discover that every few minutes hes jumping forward to the next year of his life, he must use every precious moment wisely to keep from losing the love of his life, and to learn to love the life hes losing. It’s wonderful to be staying with my family on Sydney’s stunning beaches and working with such an amazing team of people. The film is expected to premiere on Netflix later this year. Long Story Shorts is a dynamic international festival, connecting the audience to feature length films, shorts, music videos, documentaries, and screenplays. Spall added, “Josh’s screenplay is miraculous, and I couldn’t be happier to be playing Teddy. We’re all excited and grateful to be able to tell a story with such heart and positivity, and to set it in Sydney makes it all the sweeter.” Lawson said, “It really is a dream come true to be making this film with a cast and crew of this stellar caliber.

It has been remade in four languages, most notably the 2017 box office smash, Kiki Love To Love, which did over 1M admissions in Spain. Lawson’s first feature The Little Death won the SXSW Audience Award and premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2014 and was released in more than 30 territories.
