2012 Sundance Predictions: Josh Radnor’s Liberal Arts

Date:

#36. Liberal Arts – Josh Radnor

Invited to the 2010 festival with his debut film HappyThankYouMorePlease, my guess is programmers might send out a second invite for Josh Radnor’s sophomore film because of the lead actress who stars alongside Radnor. Liberal Arts is toplined by Elizabeth Olsen who became a part of Sundance’s history because of her breakout perf in Martha Marcy May Marlene — during the fest she’ll be mentally preparing for the Indie Spirits. Expect a Premieres section showing. Hyde Park Int. is the sales rep.

Gist: This centers on a 35 year-old (Radnor), still yearning for the life of a college student, who must come to terms with his age and responsibilities. Olsen plays a 19-year-old college student who falls for Radnor’s character over a shared love of music and literature. She wants to make it work with the man but her immaturity makes it impossible for her to see the obvious obstacles.

Producers: Radnor, Brice Dal Farra, Claude Dal Farra, Jesse Hara, Lauren Munsch
