Starbuck was co-written and directed by Ken Scott, who penned the screenplay with Martin Petit, the film stars Patrick Huard as David Wozniak, a 42-year old lovable but perpetual screw up who finally decides to take control of his life. A habitual sperm donor in his youth, he discovers that he’s the biological father of 533 children, 142 of whom are trying to force the fertility clinic to reveal the true identity of the prolific donor code-named Starbuck.
Produced by André Rouleau, the film also stars Julie Le Breton, as David’s long suffering girlfriend who suddenly finds herself pregnant and understandably reluctant to share parenthood with the unreliable David, and Antoine Bertrand, David’s longtime friend, Paul, an attorney who takes on his case while trying to disabuse him of the joys of parenthood.
It’s a story hugely sentimental full of unexpected reactions of some characters but plenty of charm and great humor sense. Mainly with anonymity laws have changed and 142 of these young adults want to meet him what is he going to do? Is he will be out of this intriguingly bizarre situation? Just see it because is really enjoyable French Canadian film will be will release on March 22 in Los Angeles and New York, with a national rollout to follow.
