Desiree Akhavan has written, directed, and starred in her feature film debut Appropriate Behavior that’s already, without a theatrical release, gotten a nomination for a Spirit Award. 

You could take note of the movie off of that alone, but there are way more intriguing things of note about it.

It follows Akhavan as a bisexual who has yet to come out to her Persian family living in NYC and all the inherent pressures of such a life that comes from all angles. The trailer promises something wry, acerbic, vulnerable, and darkly funny and, basically, we’re into this whole mix in Appropriate Behavior.   

Watch the trailer here and then watch it in select theaters Jan. 16th, 2015.
