"Authentic
in texture if narrow in scope, LOL is a movie about the way we live
— or rather about the way white, urban, heterosexual circuit boys
are failing to live." "LOL
is a stunning mirror on the ways we say things without using words.
[Swanberg] reveals himself to be one of the most emotionally astute
young filmmakers working today." "Go
see this movie! It's funny and original. . .Joe Swanberg gets the most
real, honest performances we've seen since the Duplass Brothers." ".
. .hilarious, hilariously sad, and incredibly prescient." Alex, Tim, and Chris view the women in their lives through the dimensions of a computer screen or the lens of a camera-phone, as they struggle to balance their online fantasies and addictions with the demands of real life. This up-to-the-second feature intimately explores masculinity in the new millennium, a time when young men are trying to decipher the mixed messages of modern relationships and technology. Featuring a nonprofessional cast, video contributions from people all over the world, and original music by lead actor Kevin Bewersdorf, this funny and thoughtful film offers an honest portrait of how the latest tools of communication can either help us click or turn us off. |

Nerve.com presents Young Sat Aug 26 6:30pm - buy tix Joe Swanberg & others in person! |
YOUNG AMERICAN BODIES is an indie soap opera created for Nerve.com. Maggie (Mollie Leibovitz) makes a New Year's resolution to stop being the girl that guys just want to sleep with and not date. Her roommate, Casey (Eve Rounds), tries to help her keep the resolution, but she has her own relationship issues to deal with. Ben (Joe Swanberg), their downstairs neighbor, is nursing a crush on Maggie that makes it impossible for him to consider a relationship with anyone else, while his roommate, Dia (Kris Williams), considers taking her relationship to the next level. Directors Swanberg and Williams previously collaborated on the feature film, KISSING ON THE MOUTH, and bring the same improvised style and frank sexuality to this project. |
