Can a couple stuck in a professional and marital rut survive a wine country weekend with über wealthy friends? That’s the premise of Michael Tennant’s surprise SXSW hit Pretty Problems. The imaginative yet surprisingly grounded romp won accolades at various film festivals, including Maui Film Festival’s Narrative Feature Comedy award, Best English Language Feature Film at the Sonoma International Film Festival, and ReFrame’s “ReFrame Stamp” Feature. The film managed to also take home the coveted SXSW Film Festival Audience Award in the Narrative Spotlight slot.

As the writer, producer, and co-star of the film, Tennant teamed with fellow screenwriters Britt Rentschler and Charlotte Ubben, and director Kestrin Pantera (Mother’s Little Helpers). The story tracks a slippery vulnerability spiral experienced by Lindsay (Rentschler) and Jack (Tennant) when they head to a plush Sonoma château with affluent strangers, only to wind up questioning nearly everything about their relationship and their economic status.

Faced with uncertainty in his own marriage, screenwriter/producer/actor Michael Tennant wanted to make a comedy that two people who could have another go at it if they were willing to, as he puts it, “look at their own sh*t, do the work, and say ‘I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.’”

The result is Pretty Problems, which feels like a creative cousin to Wedding Crashers by way of the Duplass Brothers with a touch of Schitt’s Creek tossed in there for some wonderful humor. But make no mistake, Pretty Problems is downright original. The film won the SXSW Film Festival Audience Award in 2022. It hits Hulu on July 13.

Written by Tennant, Britt Rentschler, and Charlotte Ubben, Pretty Problems was directed by Kestrin Pantera (Mother’s Little Helpers). The satirical smackdown of the uber wealthy is great fun with an on-the-mark cast featuring Tennant, Britt Rentschler (Uncle Frank...

Class divisions that assume macrocosmic significance in Ruben Östlund’s “Triangle of Sadness” remain microcosmically scaled in “Pretty Problems,” another cleverly discomfiting, festival-blessed comedy hitting theaters on Oct. 13. Kestrin Pantera’s third directorial feature, which won the Audience Award at SXSW, also places a less-advantaged young couple in an enclave of the very rich. Here, however, the upscale slumming is not free, but rather at their expense — a cruel-gamesmanship setup that (as our hero duly notes) suggests the usual horror-movie agenda of “They’re gonna kill us.”

That teased direction is not where the film eventually goes, and indeed the script (hatched by several lead performers here) manages to keep upending expectations to the end. The result is a fresh mix of social satire and relationship dissection with a saving dollop of heart. IFC is opening it on about 30 U.S. theater screens, simultaneous with on-demand platforms.

Opening with a...

Sometimes, the grass really is greener. That’s a lesson that Jack and Lindsay (Michael Tennant and Britt Rentschler) learn in “Pretty Problems,” though it’s not like their side of the fence was offering much competition. The young married couple is stuck in the kind of rut that nobody expects to hit at such an early age. She’s a wannabe fashion designer who had to put her dreams on whole and work a retail job, while he’s a lovable schlub selling solar panels door-to-door while making sure his probation officer (who’s tragically named Doug) doesn’t send him to jail. They have a nonexistent sex life despite their best efforts, and appear to be floating in a kind of domestic purgatory that isn’t easily escaped.

That all changes when Cat (JJ Nolan) wanders into the boutique where Lindsay works. The vape-loving, wine-guzzling trophy wife is...

Sarah Levy and Eugene Levy have leveled up their bond—and it's all thanks to her bébé. Sarah recently welcomed her first child with husband Graham Outerbridge, a baby boy named James Eugene. James' middle name is a clear homage to Sarah's father and, as Sarah recently shared, the tribute is one that warmed her dad's heart. "My dad was incredibly touched that we named him James Eugene, and honestly, I could not imagine any other middle name for James," Sarah said in a recent interview with Babe by Hatch. "In my family we name people after middle names. It was just a nice way to honor my dad." As if the little one's arrival couldn't be any more special,...

"I thought she was joking when she said she invited you up here." IFC Films has revealed an official trailer for an indie comedy titled Pretty Problems, which originally premiered at this year's SXSW Film Festival in the spring. Jack and Lindsay are invited on a getaway trip with affluent strangers: down the rabbit hole, and into the most unhinged weekend of their lives. Can their relationship survive? This wacky, wild comedy takes a look at the difference between the "haves" and "have nots" on this party trip to a Sonoma Chateau. The film stars Britt Rentschler and Michael Tennant as Lindsay and Jack, with J.J. Nolan, Charlotte Ubben, Graham Outerbridge, Alex Klein, Clayton Froning, Katarina Hughes, Vanessa Chester, and Amy Maghera. This looks like it's trying to make fun of "pretty people" and all their crazy problems, but it also looks so ludicrous it may not even be fun?...

Sarah Levy is a mom! On July 5, the "Schitt's Creek" star shared that she'd welcomed her first child with husband Graham Outerbridge, and they chose a special name for their son. "He decided to make an early entrance but we are so glad sweet James Eugene Outerbridge is in the world," she captioned an Instagram photo of her baby's feet. Of course, the middle name is inspired by Levy's famous father, Eugene Levy.

Levy's announcement has since been flooded with congratulatory messages from friends and former "Schitt's Creek" costars. Emily Hampshire, who portrayed Stevie Budd on the Canadian sitcom, wrote, "Congrats! He always has an auntie em!," while Karen Robinson (Ronnie Lee) commented, "Yayyyyyyyy!!! Lookit his perfect feet!!!," and Tim Rozon (Mutt Schitt) commented a single red-heart emoji. Her brother, Dan Levy, has yet to post about his nephew's birth, but if he does,...

She posted a snapshot of her snack, noting, "The verdict is that it's so weird and oddly addictive and my tastebuds are very confused but not upset?" Sold! The Schitt's Creek star, who played...

Sarah Levy is going to be a mom! On May 16, the "Schitt's Creek" alum announced on Instagram that she and husband Graham Outerbridge are expecting their first child. Alongside a photo of her baby bump, Levy wrote, "We'll take all the salt & vinegar chips and the hottest hot sauce you have, thx!" Almost immediately, her former costar and friend Annie Murphy commented on the snap, jokingly writing, "Remember How you're Pregnant?!"

Levy first confirmed her romance with fellow actor and producer Outerbridge back in 2018 when she made her debut on his Instagram while the two were vacationing in Bermuda. "It's from a series called, Mega Babe Takes Pictures. @sarahplevy," he captioned the snap.

In October 2021, the two made things official by tying the knot. "Bells are ringing ✨✨10.16.2021," Levy captioned an Instagram picture that included a photo-booth-style strip of the couple kissing on their wedding day.

A couple have a wild weekend away in Pretty Problems, Kestrin Pantera’s laugh-out-loud comedy premiering at SXSW.

Written by Michael Tennant, who also co-stars, it’s a witty look at wealth, privilege and relationships over a couple of days of hedonism in wine country.

Lindsay (Britt Rentschler) is as bored with her marriage to Jack (Tennant) as she is working in a boutique — until Cat Flax (JJ Nolan) swoops into the store, showering her with flattery and conspicuous displays of wealth. The pair bond over a bottle of wine, and Lindsay arrives home flushed with excitement about her rich new friend. Jack reluctantly agrees to accept Cat’s invitation for a weekend away, and they jump into a car and drive into another world: of butlers, gift bags, massages and astronomically expensive wine their hosts forget even buying.

Cat’s married to Matt Flax (Graham Outerbridge), a self-made billionaire...

Directed by SXSW alum Kestrin Pantera (Mother’s Little Helpers), Pretty Problems is yet another indie picture about a floundering 30-something couple stuck in a rut while others around them seem to have it easy from the privilege of headstarts. Perhaps this is a condition of living in places where the haves and have-nots are so extreme, with a robust service industry that caters to the old money, new money, and Henry segment.

In that regard, yes, having multiple homes, an addiction to $500 bottles of wine, a support staff, and kids that can be outsourced to an au pair really are pretty problems to have, especially in light of real suffering outside these bubbles. This is not to say Pretty Problems isn’t fun in passages—it just feels expressly tailor-made for an SXSW audience and the echo chamber of the festival landscape.

The plot is fairly straightforward. Couple Lindsay...

This news is simply the best. Sarah Levy married Graham Outerbridge on Saturday, Oct. 16. The 35-year-old actress, who played Twyla on Schitt's Creek, announced the news in an Instagram post on Monday, Oct. 18. "Bells are ringing," she wrote alongside a few photos of the newlyweds."10.16.2021." Her brother Dan Levy also confirmed the news in a separate post. "My sister got married this weekend," the 38-year-old actor, who co-created the Emmy-winning series and starred as David Rose, captioned a picture from the reception. "This is absolutely not a photo of us screaming the lyrics to S Club Party on the dance floor. Love you, @sarahplevy." While it wasn't...

Cinedigm Corp has acquired all U.S. and Canadian rights to “Distancing Socially,” a quarantine comedy premiering on digital and on demand on Oct 5.

Starring Alan Tudyk, Sarah Levy, Rory Scovel, Andy Buckley and Jim O’Heir, the film was shot during lockdown using remote technology. Written and directed by Chris Blake, “Distancing Socially” explores love, friendship and the idea that a world of increased connectivity ironically leads to greater miscommunication.

The film features a series of comical vignettes shared across a telecommunications app, focusing on the everyday problems of various loosely connected characters that play out virtually amidst a global lockdown. Jessika Van, Melanie Chandra and Connor Paolo round out the cast.

“With warmth, levity and humor, ‘Distancing Socially’ explores our inherent need for connection even in the most challenging times,” said Yolanda Macias, chief content officer at Cinedigm. “Chris Blake and these talented actors create wonderful, authentic moments, both funny and poignant,...

Though Schitt's Creek fans are likely aware that Eugene Levy and Daniel Levy (aka Johnny and David Rose) are father and son Irl, you may not realize that another member of the Levy family is also part of the cast. Café Tropical waitress Twyla Sands is played by Eugene Levy's daughter, Sarah Levy, who also appeared in 2011's Larry Crowne. Though not much is known about the actress's past romantic history, we do know that she's currently dating actor and producer Graham Outerbridge, who has appeared on The Britishes, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Law & Order, among other TV shows and movies.

Can someone please check on Sarah Levy's vocal cords? Because I'm genuinely concerned for their wellbeing after the Emmys. The Canadian actress tuned into the award show from home while many of her Schitt's Creek costars (safely) gathered to watch it together in Toronto, and you better believe she lost her mind over the sitcom's historic sweep of the comedy category, much like her brother Dan Levy did at the cast's viewing party.

In footage captured and shared by Sarah's boyfriend, Graham Outerbridge, she's seen repeatedly screaming, falling to her knees, doing happy dances, and yelling a very David Rose-esque "oh my god" each and every time Schitt's Creek is announced as a winner. At one point she even admits, "I literally only have 'oh my god' in my vocabulary,...

"What - you need an invitation?" As always, we're happy to feature short films that catch our attention so as to inspire, and to provide a quick look at the variety of great filmmakers (and stories to tell) out there. This latest one is titled Now We Are Not, written and directed by Amanda Mae Meyncke (aka @amae and writer for other film websites), and as much as I could start explaining the concept you'll figure out as soon as you start watching. It's almost sort of a reverse Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, without the sci-fi, but with all the emotions. I enjoyed it and hope to see more from Amanda soon. It's only a quick 6 minutes. No synopsis provided! None needed. Thanks to our friend @ChaseWhale for the tip on this. This short film is written and directed by Amanda Mae Meyncke, starring Aimee Parker and Graham Outerbridge,...
