Based on the novel by Anne Tyler (The Accidental Tourist, Breathing Lessons), A Slipping Down Life revolves around the life of Evie Decker, a withdrawn young woman who falls in love with a musician (Guy Pearce - Memento and L.A. Confidential) when she hears his haunting voice on the radio.  At first, her obsession may seem unhealthy, yet it seems to be the one thing that brings her out of her lifelong shell.
Centered around a fascinating performance from Lili Taylor (Mystic Pizza, Dogfight, Six Feet Under, Say Anything), A Slipping Down Life marks a stunning debut from first-time writer / director Toni Kalem.  

A Slipping Down Life makes its Midwestern Regional Premiere at the Indianapolis International Film Festival.
