2012 Sundance Predictions: Lynn Shelton’s Your Sister’s Sister

#78. Your Sister’s Sister – Lynn Shelton

It played extremely well at the Toronto Int. Festival. and got quickly picked up by IFC FIlms. With a pegged spring 2012 theatrical release planned, I can see Your Sister’s Sister have its U.S premiere in Sundance’s Spotlight section (best on the world film festival scene) or worse case scenario find itself at SXSW for a buzz showing weeks before the launch.

Gist: A year after his brother’s death, Jack (Mark Duplass) still see-saws between emotionally wobbly and outright volatile. When he makes a scene at a memorial party, Iris (Blunt) intervenes with a plan: Jack must oil up his old bike and trek to her father’s cabin on an island on Puget Sound, where isolation will give his brain a chance to detangle. When Jack gets to the woods, however, he finds not solitude but Iris’ sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), herself nursing a wounded heart and a bottle of tequila.

Producer: Steven Schardt
