Writer/director/star Alex Karpovsky, a familiar face to indie filmgoers, reveals his sterling comic chops in this close-to-the-bone comedy. Teasing the line between fiction and reality, he plays an indie filmmaker named Alex Karpovsky who, dumped by a longtime girlfriend fed up with his refusal to marry, takes to the road with a reluctant old pal for a misbegotten mini tour screening his movie on college campuses and independent cinemas.
Acting
Karpovsky weaponizes his own neurotic screen presence.
Writing
Blurred reality/fiction that actually earns its meta.
Production
Shot on real locations with zero budget pretension.
Director
Alex Karpovsky
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Karpovsky shot this between seasons of Girls, where he played Ray—another commitment-phobe.
The 'real' screenings shown are actual Q&As from Karpovsky's previous film, Woodpecker, making audiences unwitting extras in his emotional processing.
