-
Aidan Laprete: “A Rivian.”
Sam Nivola for Driver’s Ed How the cast would describe the film:

New Year’s Rev
Later that evening, the New Year’s Rev carpet lit up with a family moment as Mark Ruffalo showed up to support his son Keen Ruffalo, who stars in the film. The whole cast was there to celebrate, minus Mason Thames, who had slipped out earlier in the week.
