News: Acclaimed Comedy "Wild Canaries" opening soon!

SUNDANCE SELECTS WILL RELEASE WILD CANARIES IN NYC ON FEBRUARY 25th & LOS ANGELES ON MARCH 6th!

Written and directed by Lawrence Michael Levine and featuring a wonderful cast including Sophia Takal, Lawrence Michael Levine, Alia Shawkat, Annie Parisse, Jason Ritter and Kevin Corrigan, "Wild Canaries" tell the story of Barri and Noah, a newly engaged Brooklyn couple who are disheartened by the death of their elderly downstairs neighbor, Sylvia. 

Though Noah sees nothing unusual about the old woman's death, Barri suspects foul play and sets out to investigate, enlisting her roommate Jean to join her on a reconnaissance mission to trail a possible suspect. Tensions mount, however, when the investigation uncovers unsettling secrets throughout the building—including in their own apartment -- and suddenly everyone seems like a reasonable suspect. A freshly comedic take on classic film noir, "Wild Canaries" brings a unique sensibility to a high-stakes murder mystery.

The movie has been featured at the following film festivals:

2014 SXSW FILM FESTIVAL
2014 MONTCLAIR FILM FESTIVAL    
2014 BAM CINEMAFEST      
2014 TRAVERSE CITY FILM FESTIVAL

Critics love the movie!

"A droll and whimsical wonder. The tightly wound script conjures a classic-Hollywood tone, as does the precisely timed comic direction of two local romantics who bring grand screwball fantasies to life."
-Richard Brody, The New Yorker

"Replicates the unbridled jubilance of a classic screwball comedy thanks to a sharply written script and exquisite performances...a truly great romance. The least we can hope for is a sequel."
-Calum March, The Village Voice
