TRAILER: Take a look at Rick Alverson's ENTERTAINMENT ahead of its fall release

Last week, the trailer for the dark comedy Entertainment was released online. Arts + Labor - which handled post production duties on it - hired me to be post production supervisor. It was quite a handful prepping and shepherding this ambitious indie (shot entirely in ARRI RAW) through post within such a tight window on its way to a Sundance premiere earlier this year. I learned a ton, though, from Aversion and his DP Lorenzo Hagerman. It is also currently playing at NEXT Fest in LA.


Indiewire wrote up a post introducing the trailer.

So did AV Club.

So did this website, Consequence of Sound, in which they wrote: "Similar to The Comedy, Entertainment is a very meditative experience that uses startling visuals to carry its strange narrative."

Here is Indiewire's review from Sundance.

Entertainment will be released by Magnolia Pictures in select theaters and iTunes November 13.
