Philip Seymour Hoffman’s directorial debut in Jack Goes Boating

Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman is best known for his turn in the biopic about Truman Capote in 2005. Between then and now he’s been busy with a number of projects, none more exciting than Jack Goes Boating, his first film from behind the camera. Starring himself alongside Amy Ryan (who we, with a squeal of delight, recognised as The Office alum Holly Flax), John Ortiz and Daphne Rubin-Vega, Jack Goes Boating is the story of love and friendship surrounding two couples in New York.

Due for release in September, Jack Goes Boating looks as if it might help its director along to that elusive second Academy Award. Stay tuned for more info.
