Richard Linklater’s ‘Boyhood’ Get a Gorgeous Poster
Boyhood, a revolutionary new film from Richard Linklater (Dazed & Confused, the Before series) that was shot over a period of 12 years and details the life of a family (featuring Linklater staple Ethan Hawke as the father and Patricia Arquette as the mother) through the eyes of the youngest son Mason (played by newcomer Ellar Coltrane). The Sundance hit is set to be featured at this year’s San Francisco Film Festival and opens July 11th. Here’s the first poster:
Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.
He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
