Sundance hit comedy SERIOUS PEOPLE opens theatrically in Los Angeles on November 14 (Laemmle Glendale) with a regional theatrical expansion to other cities and a nationwide VOD Release to follow on December 16.
Successful Music Video director Pasqual Gutierrez is faced with a dilemma on the due date of his first-born child: a job offer for his biggest video yet. Frustrated with his poor work/life balance, Gutierrez casts a doppelgänger named Miguel to take over his work duties in his director duo Cliqua as he prepares to take an extended paternity leave. But as Pasqual starts to spend more time with Miguel to teach him how to step into this new role, Pasqual’s relationship and his work suffer, ending with a disastrous music video shoot. SERIOUS PEOPLE explores what it means to be a “director,” a parent, and the replaceability of people in clout-heavy Los Angeles.
Serious People stars Gutierrez, Christine Yuan, RJ Sanchez, Miguel Huerta. Produced by Ryan Hahn, Laurel Thomson, Teddy Lee.
