SSF Loves Film | “Eye on Film” | Your Sister’s Sister

Last summer we were excited to announce that SSFTag film, Your Sister’s Sister, was having its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. Here are some updates.

The film was picked up by IFC Films for distribution in North America and Latin America, according to Indiewire. They have slated the film for release sometime next summer.

“Your Sister’s Sister” stars Mark Duplass as Jack, a man still mourning the death of his brother from over a year ago. When his brother’s former girlfriend Iris (Emily Blunt) sends him off to recuperate at her father’s cabin on Puget Sound, he discovers that her sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), also nursing a broken heart, has set up shop there as well. When the two wake up together the next morning after sharing a night of drunken passion, complications ensue when Iris makes a surprise visit.

Shelton’s last film was the well-received “Humpday” from 2009, also starring Duplass. More recently, she directed an episode of “Mad Men” entitled “Hands & Knees”. We still keep hearing endearing stores about the cast and crew embracing sustainability on the set while they all hung out in the San Juan’s for two weeks. The film will still show at a few festivals including opening Seattle International Film Festival before releasing.
