finally, some just right news for Ryan Gosling‘s directorial debut, misplaced River.

The movie (which Time known as “the most enthusiastically derided entry” at the Cannes film competition closing year) chronicles the trials of a mom, played by Mad males‘s Christina Hendricks, seeking to live to tell the tale singleparenthood and a Detroit-like barren region in what seems like a loopy formidable style mashup.

lost River screened at South by using Southwest last night time and that is the reason when the nice times rolled. during the Q&A part of the proceedings, with Gosling and forged on stage, a girl in the audience used some of her mic time to propose marriage to her associate.

Judging through the video photos captured through filmmaker Paul Allen Hunton, which he posted to Twitter and YouTube, it seems the woman generic the thought. Gosling and his gang then joined the target audience in giving the satisfied couple a standing “O.”

And this is higher, clearer footage of the experience, also taken with the aid of any individual attending the screening:

What’s less clear is if this was once a true romantic moment, or a suave advertising transfer. a woman named Heather MacKay, who handiest has 13 followers, thanked Hunton on Twitter for posting the video, and retweeted many different tweeted mentions of the inspiration. If this were a marketing stunt, would not the folks at the back of the film have chosen somebody with extra social media clout?

misplaced River, meanwhile, can use the entire fresh mojo it will probably get: it is scheduled to open in theaters on April 10 of this 12 months, with restricted distribution.
