Coming out of Sundance this year, the amazing Jenny Slate stars in Gillian Robespierre‘s Obvious Child a dark romantic comedy as a stand-up comedian who has a one-night stand, then gets pregnant. She debates the idea of abortion, telling the guy, and more in what looks very promising, especially with a cast that boasts Gabe Liedman, Gaby Hoffman, David Cross and Jake Lacy.

Luckily, we only have to wait until the Summer, specifically June 6th to see it. Watch the trailer here.

There’s a Sundance Film Festival in London Featuring Many of The Great Indie Comedies From U.S. Sundance

Since 2012, there has been a Sundance Film Festival in London that brings many of the films discovered in Park City, UT at the flagship Sundance Film Festival.

As there is a lack of exposure of our own indie films in general here in the States, there’s definitely a lack of exposure over in the U.K. That’s why, if you’re in London are going to be there in late April, maybe you can check out, catch, discover the likes of David Cross’ Hits, Frank with Michael Fassbender, They Came Together with Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler, Obvious Child with Jenny Slate, The Trip to Italy with Steve Coogan and Michael Winterbottom, and plenty of other indie comedies that made their U.S. festival debut earlier this year in Jan.

Obvious Child Starring Jenny Slate Acquired by The Exchange & A24

We had a good feeling about Obvious Child directed by Gillian Robespierre that is faring quite well at Sundance when we saw the Kickstarter for finishing funds months ago.

Thanks to The Exchange and A24, the whole world will potentially see the release of a film starring the amazing Jenny Slate playing a stand up comedian in Brooklyn also featuring Gabe Liedman and Gaby Hoffman.

Rest assured, we’ll be looking for a release date like the rest of you.

We’d put money on the hilarious Andre Hyland interviewing himself as a character in promotion of his short film Funnel screening at The Sundance Film Festival better than most interviews at Sundance.

Unfortunately, I don’t think there are any bookies that would take a bet like that.

Watch the interview here.

Benjamin Berman who you should know as the director of Comedy Bang! Bang on IFC has made a short film that is going to play The Sundance Film Festival next year called “I’m a Mitzvah”.

It stars Ben Schwartz and follows trying to get a dead friend’s body back from Mexico, which sounds like a great formula for a short to us. We can’t watch the short yet (it has play that festival first, at least), but there’s a trailer that you can and should watch for I’m a Mitzvah here.

If you have prerequisites for supporting a Kickstarter, we’d hope that a funny film getting accepted into sundance and a film starring Jenny Slate with Gaby Hoffman and Gabe Liedman would be good enough for you to donate.

Gillian Robespierre’s Obvious Child has indeed been accepted into Sundance and from this Kickstarter video looks like it definitely belongs there. As suggested above, Slate, Hoffman, and Liedman are all in it, so give it some money so it can finish and be a potential indie comedy hit in Park City, UT next year.

After a run at Sundance, the David Gordon Green film ’Prince Avalanche’ gets a trailer. There’s not much revealed, though that is OK as Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch seem to get goofy in the woods while painting roads in their spare time (or maybe it’s the other way around).

Either way, it looks like it could be wonderful based off this trailer.
