Two guys take their bromance to another level when they participate in an art film project.
+ MoreTwo guys take their bromance to another level when they participate in an art film project.
Life choices are questioned and boundaries are tested as college buddies Ben (Mark Duplass) and Andrew (Joshua Leonard) navigate their surprising reunion and make a spontaneous decision to pursue an unusual art project. It’s not quite what one might expect from two guys daring each other in a game of one-upmanship — and it sparks some challenging conversations about friendship, masculinity, and insecurity.
Humpday premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, where it won a Special Jury Prize for Spirit of Independence. Directed by the late Lynn Shelton, this mumblecore gem reflects her signature blend of empathy and understated wit. Years later, it still charms with terrific performances, largely improvised dialogue, and Shelton’s deeply missed, effortless brilliance — both behind and in front of the camera. — AT
