Once again, it’s almost TIFF season and several new films will be hitting the scene. This includes a new, buzz-worthy project from “Your Sister’s Sister” helmer Lynn Shelton. Deadline reports that The Orchard has obtained worldwide distribution rights to Shelton’s “Outside In,” which will make its debut at TIFF in September.
Written and directed by Shelton, “Outside In” explores the relationship between a high school teacher, Carol (Edie Falco), and an ex-student (Jay Duplass) following his release from prison. As he works to catch up with all that he’s missed, Carol attempts to rebuild a relationship with her teenage daughters.
“Outside In’s” cast also includes Kaitlyn Dever (“Short Term 12”) and Ben Schwartz (“Parks and Recreation”). Mel Eslyn and Lacey Leavitt serve as producers. The Orchard’s two-part release plan includes a theatrical and digital premiere sometime in 2018 followed by a Netflix release shortly thereafter.
“Your Sister’s Sister,” starring Emily Blunt (“The Girl on the Train”), Rosemarie DeWitt (“La La Land”), and Mark Duplass (“The League”) also premiered at TIFF. Shelton’s directorial credits include episodes of “GLOW,” “The Mindy Project,” and “New Girl” and films “Laggies” and “Touchy Feely.”
