Aya Cash, Betsy Brandt and Ella Rubin navigate complicated sibling dynamics in the trailer for the dramedy feature Adult Children.
Rich Newey directed the indie film that premieres at the Bentonville Film Festival on June 19 and is currently seeking distribution. Thomas Sadoski and Mimi Rogers also star in the movie hailing from 521 Films.
Adult Children centers on Morgan (Rubin), a 17-year-old who is working on her college applications when she suddenly finds herself spending an extended amount of time with her much older half-siblings. The group is awkwardly brought together after a crisis involving wayward brother Josh (Sadoski).
“When I was little, I was extremely jealous of my older siblings,” Rubin says in voiceover during the trailer. “If they spent their childhoods reacting instead of dreaming, all I could do was dream of something to react to. That something showed up this summer.”
Later, Rogers quips, “Apparently, this is a popular season for falling off the wagon.”
Newey (Killing Eleanor) helmed the film from a script by Annika Marks. Newey, Marks, Sadoski and Angie Gaffney serve as producers.
Following its debut at Bentonville this month, Adult Children is set to screen at Galway Film Fleadh on July 11.
Cash is known for her roles in the series You’re the Worst, Fosse/Verdon and The Boys and for appearing in such features as Game Over, Man! Brandt’s television credits include Breaking Bad and Saint X. Rubin has had roles in the recent features The Idea of You, Anora, Until Dawn and Fear Street: Prom Queen.
