The Architect

Shot in and around Seattle, The Architect is a comedy about the many challenges of making a good home. Drew (Parker Posey, Best in Show) and Colin (Eric McCormack, "Will & Grace") are a married couple going through the stress of buying a new house. She is artistically inclined and prefers more vintage properties, while he is practical and leans more toward new construction. They do find one they can agree on, but, this being a comedy, the day after they close a freak windstorm destroys it. They ask their friends for recommendations for an architect to build a new home on the old land, and end up with Miles Moss (James Frain), a modernist architect with unconventional methods. Drew loves that he asks the couple about feelings and inspirations, but Colin doesn't see the point. As the married couple fights about what should go into their dream home, they come together in the realization that Miles may be making his dream house instead of theirs.
