2012 Sundance Predictions: Ry Russo Young’s Nobody Walks

Date:

#42. Nobody Walks – Ry Russo Young

A 2010 Sundance Screenwriters Lab selected project with additional support from the Annenberg Film Fellowship Grant and the Indian Paintbrush Fellowship, Ry Russo Young teamed with Lena Dunham for a project that attracted the likes of Dylan McDermott, Rosemarie DeWitt, John Krasinski and Olivia Thirlby for a film budgeted at a significantly larger amount than what it cost to make her debut film, You Wont Miss Me (a New Frontier programmed film). Nobody Walks looks poised for a U.S Dramatic Comp inclusion.

Gist: Co-written by Lena Dunham and Ry Russo-Young, a driven young artist is a guest at the home of a Hollywood sound designer and his family as he helps her finish her first film. Their professional connection triggers a sexual and emotional entanglement that lays bare the needs, narcissism and questionable morality of everyone involved.

Producers: Jonathan Schwartz (Like Crazy), Andrea Sperling (Kaboom) and Alicia Van Couvering (Tiny Furniture)
