Every film that has ever been made requires an incredible amount of cooperation and collaboration. A director may be the person in charge of a production and be the person that calls the shots, but they must also surround themselves with experts in specific fields from editing to cinematography to sound and lighting. That way if a director goes out of his mind and disappears to places unknown there is a potential back-up plan in place to prevent chaos and disaster. And that's the exact plot of the upcoming comedy Supporting Characters.
The new comedy, which is directed and co-written by Daniel Schechter (the upcoming Jackie Brown prequel), is getting set to open nationwide on VOD this Wednesday and in select theaters on January 25th, and to celebrate its release Tribeca Film has given us an exclusive new clip. Check it out below!
Fans of the HBO series Girls likely recognize actor Alex Karpovsky (who plays Ray in the show) as one of the film's leads, and it's worth mentioning the great couple of weeks he's been having recently. Not only did the show win the Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy award at the Golden Globes last weekend, the second season of Girls just started and the second episode played last night. And the theatrical and VOD release of Supporting Characters is just a great cherry on top.
The comedy co-stars Tarik Lowe, Arielle Kebbel, Kevin Corrigan, Sophia Takal, Melonie Diaz, Sebastian Sozzi, and Mike Landry and to see more from the movie you can check out the trailer HERE and head over to the official website by clicking this link.
