Losing Control: A Film Screening and Discussion on Science, Film, and Love

The Center for Inquiry in New York City presents a pre-Valentine's Day screening of the new romantic comedy, Losing Control. Directed by scientist-turned-filmmaker Valerie Weiss, Losing Control is about a female scientist who applies scientific principles to her love life in a search to find out whether her boyfriend is "the one."
Inspired by Weiss' experiences earning a PhD at Harvard Medical School, the movie stars Miranda Kent (Campus Ladies), Reid Scott (My Boys, The Big C), Kathleen Robertson (90210), Lin Shaye (There's Something About Mary), Bitsie Tulloch (Quarterlife), Steve Howey (Shameless, Something Borrowed), and Ben Weber (Sex in the City, Twister).

The screening will be followed by discussion on science, film, and love with director Valerie Weiss and actor Ben Weber, hosted by CFI's Michael De Dora. The event will close with a brief performance by Eleisha Eagle, who wrote several songs for the movie soundtrack, including the credit song "When I Grow Up." A reception with wine and light fare will follow
