Jenee LaMarque (profile pic above) got her first taste of Park City this past January with with her short film, Spoonful. She might be back one year to the date with we her Black List (2011) feature film debut – which falls into the Sundance archetype (smart and quirky screenplay, indie star pairing, previous and very recent Sundance experience). Starring Zoe Kazan, Jake Johnson and Ron Livingston, production on The Pretty One began in June in Los Angeles, so this should technically be ready for a January fest debut.
Gist: This is about an awkward but loveable young woman who is mistaken for her dead “perfect” identical twin, and seizes the chance to masquerade as her sister. But when she falls in love with her twin’s eccentric next door neighbor, she finds herself wanting to live her own imperfect life, and have the truth come out. The film’s being financed by private equity.
