“Daddio,” the new drama from writer-director Christy Hall starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn, has been approved for SAG-AFTRA’s interim agreement and will be cleared to have its cast promote it at this fall’s film festivals, including the Toronto International Film Festival.
“Daddio” stars Penn as a New York taxi driver who engages in a conversation with a woman who just landed at JFK (Johnson) about the relationships in their lives. Last week, the film was added to TIFF’s Special Presentation section.
The film joins a growing list of fall festival films that do not have a major Hollywood studio attached as producer or distributor that have been cleared through SAG-AFTRA’s interim agreement process to have actors promote the film.
