What happens

Asleep in My Palm is a 2023 American drama film written and directed by Henry Nelson. The story follows Tom (portrayed by Tim Blake Nelson) and Beth Anne (Chloë Kerwin), a homeless father and his daughter living near a college in rural Ohio, as they try to survive the winter. Jared Abrahamson, Grant Harvey, Gus Birney, and David Aaron Baker also star. Henry Nelson started writing the screenplay during his final year at Oberlin College, with the intent to film it with one of his professors in the starring role. He shared the script with his father Tim Blake Nelson, who signed on to produce and star in the film. The elder Nelson secured additional funding from his collaborators on Old Henry (2021), and principal photography took place in Oberlin, Ohio in early 2022. By March 2022, Kerwin and much of the supporting cast were confirmed to be starring. The film marked the directorial debut of Henry Nelson and the feature film debut of Kerwin. After premiering at the Woodstock Film Festival in 2023, the film was released in select cinemas in the United States on March 1, 2024, by Strike Back Studios. It received generally positive reviews from critics, with many praising the performances of Tim Blake Nelson and Kerwin. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
