Coming Soon: Driveways

Kathy (Hong Chau), a single mother, travels with her sensitive eight-year-old son Cody (newcomer Lucas Jaye) to Kathy’s late sister’s house which they plan to clean and sell. As Kathy realizes how little she knew about her sister, Cody develops an unlikely friendship with Del (the late, great Brian Dennehy), the Korean War vet and widower who lives next door.

Over the course of a summer, and with Del’s encouragement, Cody develops the courage to come out of his shell and, along with his mother, finds a new place to call home. Driveways is a deeply touching film about human kindness from Andrew Ahn, the acclaimed indie filmmaker behind Spa Night.

Alia Shawkat and Laia Costa get intense in the new romantic comedy Duck Butter

Dissatisfied with the dishonesty they see in dating, strangers Naima (“Arrested Development” and “Search Party” star Alia Shawkat) and Sergio (Laia Costa) make a pact to spend 24 straight hours together in an attempt to fast forward their relationship.

The newest film from prolific director Miguel Arteta, the same guy behind Star Maps, Chuck & Buck, The Good Girl and Beatriz at Dinner, Duck Butter offers up a funny, poignant and sexually frank look at growing intimacy inside a pressure cooker. Co-written by Shawkat and executive produced by the Mark and Jay Duplass, the movie offers a searing interrogation of modern romance, with all its dizzying highs and heartbreaking betrayals, all packed into one intense 24 hour period. The film also co-stars Mae Whitman, Hong Chau, Kumail Nanjiani and Kate Berlant.
