Adult Life Skills is a movie that is not to be missed this summer and the brand new poster for the film has been unveiled.
Adult Life Skills
Adult Life Skills is a movie that is already lighting up the festival circuit and sees Rachel Tunnard in the director's chair.
The movie marks the feature film directorial debut for Tunnard - who has short film Emotional Fusebox under her belt. As well as being in the director's chair, she has also penned the film's screenplay.
The fantastic Jodie Whittaker - who continues to move between great TV and film projects - is back on the big screen as she takes on the central role of Anna.
She is joined on the cast list by Lorraine Ashbourne, Brett Goldstein, Rachael Deering, Alice Lowe, Edward Hogg and Eileen Davies.
Anna is stuck: she's approaching 30 and having and early-mid-life crisis - one that's seen her regressing to a teenager, living like a hermit in her mum's garden shed and wondering why the suffragettes ever bothered.
She spends her days making videos using her thumbs as actors - thumbs that bicker about things like whether Yogi Bear is a moral or existential nihilist. But Anna doesn't show these videos to anyone and no one knows what they are for.
A week before her birthday her Mum serves her an ultimatum - she needs to move out of the shed, get a haircut that doesn't put her gender in question and stop dressing like a homeless teenager. Naturally, Anna tells her Mum to BACK THE F-OFF.
However, when her school friend comes to visit, Anna's self-imposed isolation becomes impossible to maintain. Soon she is entangled with a troubled eight-year-old boy obsessed with Westerns, and the local real estate agent whose awkwardness continually undermines his attempts to seduce her.
The movie premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, where it won the Nora Ephron prize for best female director. Tunnard is one of the new female filmmakers to watch out for this year and I cannot wait to see what she delivers with Adult Life Skills.
Adult Life Skills is released 24th June.
