Synopsis

Writer/director Alex Karpovsky ("Girls") stars as Alex Karpovsky, a newly-single indie filmmaker who hits the road with an old friend (Onur Tukel) to promote one of his films. As the pair travel from one half-empty theater to the next, pursued by an adoring fan (Jennifer Prediger) who drives them into an exceptionally uncomfortable love triangle, Alex-as-Alex is forced to suffer an endless series of humiliations, each one more absurd than the last.

"[A] loose-limbed, whiplash-funny road movie...Karpovsky and his deftly fast-talking cohorts send lacerating witticisms and poker-faced deceptions spinning." – The New Yorker
