Trailer for IN A WORLD... - A Comedy Set in the World of Movie Trailers

TrailerMovie by Joey Paur

Here's the trailer for an indie comedy called In A World..., which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival to some decent reviews. We were at the festival, but none of us got a chance to see it. I wish I would have found the time though, because it looks like a good movie! The story centers on a young woman who is trying to make a living in the field of voiceover work, specifically that of movie trailers, which as you know is male-dominated. Here's the synopsis:

Carol Solomon is a struggling vocal coach. Propelled by the hubris of her father, Sam Sotto, the reigning king of movie-trailer voice-over artists, Carol musters the courage to pursue her secret aspiration to be a voice-over star. Her fiery sister, Dani, becomes a trusted confidante, and Carol engages the skills of a charming sound techie named Louis. Armed with renewed confidence, Carol lands her first voice-over gig—a primo spot—nabbing the job from industry bad boy Gustav Warner. And then the real trouble begins. Carol becomes entangled in a web of dysfunction, sexism, unmitigated ego, and pride.

The movie was written and directed by Lake Bell, who also starred in the film with Demetri Martin, Rob Corddry, Michaela Watkins, Ken Marino, and Fred Melamed. The film won the Best Screenwriting award at Sundance, and it opens up in theaters on August 9th.
