Easier with Practice

In an attempt to promote his unpublished collection of short stories, Davy Mitchell (Brian Geraghty, The Hurt Locker) embarks on a road trip with his younger, looser brother Sean (Kel O’Neill), holding book readings in anonymous bookshops and college towns.  The trip proves to be a lonely and unfulfilling experience for Davy whose discordant relationship with his brother seems impossible to reconcile. 

One night in a motel room, he gets a random phone call from a mysterious woman named Nicole and they proceed to have phone sex.  This starts a sexy, funny and intimate long-distance affair that alternates between furious erotic phone chats and tender bonding moments.  This leaves Davy happier than he’s ever been.

Returning home from the trip, Davy finds it difficult to return to his former life.  A possible reunion with his former flame is thwarted and his brother’s growing obsession with the affair borders on the sadistic.  Hoping the relationship can become more than virtual sex and a phone bill, Davy decides he wants to meet Nicole.  Ultimately, he will have to face the truth about their relationship, and himself.

Based on a true story and winner of several awards including the Independent Spirit Someone to Watch Award, Easier with Practice is a “quietly provocative love story about… the risks some guys will take to connect.” - Variety
