“Being Flynn” Interview With Nick Flynn

Writer Nick Flynn

“Being Flynn” is a new movie based on the true life of author Nick Flynn

Flynn (author & executive producer) has worked as a ship’s captain, an electrician, and as a case worker with homeless adults, in addition to being an author.

His memoir, “Another Bulls—t Night in Suck City” (2004), won the PEN/Martha Albrand Award; was shortlisted for France’s Prix Femina; has been translated into 14 languages and now has been made into the movie “Being Flynn.”

Currently Nick is a professor in the creative writing program at the University of Houston, where he teaches each spring. He then spends the rest of the year in or near Brooklyn.

Mr. Flynn was artistic collaborator and “field poet” on Hubert Sauper’s Darwin’s Nightmare (2004), which was Academy Award-nominated as Best Documentary Feature.

We had a chance to speak with Flynn about the movie, about Robert DeNiro playing his dad and Paul Dano portraying himself.

“Being Flynn” is now playing at theaters.

In Houston, Texas it is showing at the Sundance Cinema. Click here for tickets and showtimes.
