Zach Braff In THE HIGH COST OF LIVING - Now Available On Tribeca Film On Demand
By Adam Schartoff

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING (Tribeca Film)

Tormented with guilt, Henry —who drove off from the scene of the accident in a panic— attempts to find and make contact with Natalie, something made easier after she walks out of her marriage.  Carrying around 8 1/2 months of a pregnancy in her belly, Henry first makes contact with her at a bar where she is drinking away her problems.

The friendship does, however, humanize Henry who begins to re-evaluate his own life and the choices he has made along the way.

There is also a subplot involving the downstairs Chinese family from whom Henry rents his apartment.  He initially asks the teenage son to do some snooping around for him to help track down his victim. The young man’s involvement ends up making him a primary suspect, another victim of Henry’s although perhaps not intended.

Zach Braff: THE HIGH COST OF LIVING (Tribeca Film)

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING, directed by first time feature director, Deborah Chow, is a real departure for Braff from a career standpoint. His name carries the film and has helped it find its way through a number of festivals (it enjoyed a successful premiere at the Tonronto Film Festival) and now available day & date with the Tribeca film Festival / Tribeca Film On Demand.
