2017 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Adam Keleman’s Easy Living

Date:

Adam Keleman is the type of first time filmmaker we admire: learn the craft, be a fly on the wall and stay hungry. With production assistant creds on Ira Sachs’ Keep the Lights On and Pascale Ferran’s Bird People, Keleman landed one of Quebec’s best imports in Caroline Dhavernas for a role that devilishly reminds u of the go-getter spirit found in American Beauty‘s Annette Bening character. Filming on Easy Living took place last January and since then, the film found support at the US in Progress in Paris edition to some West coast love from The AbelCine Feature Film Grant from Film Independent. This is more than ready for an early 2017 bow.

Gist: Sherry, a self-destructive saleswoman, hopes a new man and business venture will provide her a fresh start.

Production Co./Producers: Laura Wagner (Tracktown)

Prediction: U.S. Dramatic or NEXT section.

U.S. Distributor: Rights Available. TBD (domestic). TBD (international)
