Last Night in Rozzie Movie Storyline. Ronnie left Boston and became a successful New York lawyer. When he receives that phone call from Joey, he learns that Joey is dying from cirrhosis of the liver. Joey asks Ronnie to visit and do one thing for him. Let him see his son from whom he has been separated for 10 years. Adding to the complexity, Joey had that son with Ronnie’s old flame Pattie, played by Nicky Whelan (The Girl in the Window, Scrubs).
A phone call from a childhood friend you haven’t heard from in 25 years. And your friend is dying. That’s the inciting incident which sets off the action in Last Night in Rozzie, a feature film shown at the Hill Country Film Festival (HCFF), during its July 29-August 1, 2021 run. Based in Fredericksburg, Texas, HCFF began in 2010. The Hill Country Film Society runs the fest and sponsors year-round film and filmmaking education programs.
Last Night in Rozzie breaks two rules filmmakers try to live by: Don’t just have people talking to one another and avoid a lot of flashbacks. The film works anyway and draws you in to a complicated and emotional story. It won both Best Feature and Best of Fest awards at HCFF.
