Another Happy Day (trailer)
Independent film distributor Gravitas Ventures has acquired U.S. and Canadian rights to "Another Happy Day," written and directed by Nora Fiffer. The comedy, starring Lauren Lapkus, Marilyn Dodds Frank, Jean Elie and Carrie Coon, will be released on digital and cable video on demand on Oct. 1.
According to the film's logline: "Desperate for some companionship, zany new mother Joanna strikes up an unlikely friendship with her estranged aunt Miriam, a reclusive actress. Miriam seems the perfect companion for Joanna: she's artistic, honest, eccentric and she hates babies. But everything goes wrong when Joanna tries to mother her aunt instead of her baby. 'Another Happy Day' is an absurd, suspenseful comedy that explores postpartum depression, intergenerational friendship and what it means to be family."
Mike Castle, Francis Guinan, Hanna Dworkin, Alex Weisman, Bryan Coffee, Adam Poss, Nora Fiffer, Jessie Holder Tourtellotte and Tim Kazurinsky round out the cast.
