Trailers: Hannah Takes The Stairs

This is what happens when indie gods collide. They make awesomely awesome movies. I can't boast about this film just yet since I haven't seen it, but I'm almost certain I'll be talking about it long after I do. Andrew Bujalski, a man who mastered the art of nothingness with his films Funny Ha Ha and Mutual Appreciation, stars along with Mark Duplass, star and co-writer of The Puffy Chair, in this new film from their buddy Joe Swanberg (director of Kissing on the Mouth and LOL), a new talent being added to this millennial indie auteur social club. Mutual Appreciation and The Puffy Chair were two of my favorite films in 2006 and Hannah Takes The Stairs looks like it will continue in the tradition of those films with an offbeat, true to life look at a simple situation. The film is said to be a collaboration in the truest sense of the word with each of the major cast members being given credit for helping to shape the script. If there's a more exciting indie scene at the moment, I honestly don't know what it is. These guys top my list of people to watch out for in the future. Here Bujalski plays one of two potential office romances for Hannah (principal co-writer Greta Gerwig). Fellow co-writer Kent Osborne plays the third member of their little love triangle. The movie opens in limited release beginning August 22nd.
