"I love you, but I'm married to the road." This looks wild. IFC Films has released a full-length official trailer for The Nowhere Inn, a strange meta comedy mockumentary creation & authenticity from filmmaker Bill Benz. This initially premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival last year, and also played at the Outfest Film Festival later in the year. The singer known as St. Vincent sets out to make a documentary about her music and touring life on the road, but when she hires a close friend to direct, notions of reality, identity, and authenticity grow increasingly distorted and bizarre. This co-stars Annie Clark, aka "St. Vincent", and Carrie Brownstein, with Ezra Buzzington, Toko Yasuda, Chris Aquilino, Drew Connick. As seen in the trailer, the film is best described as a "metafictional meditation on friendship, fame and persona." It looks quite bizarre and very Lynchian, lots of odd footage intertwining and unraveling.

"A small part of me was starting to second guess myself." IFC Films has unveiled the first teaser trailer for The Nowhere Inn, a strange meta comedy mockumentary creation from filmmaker Bill Benz. This initially premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival last year, and also played at the Outfest Film Festival later in the year. The singer known as St. Vincent sets out to make a documentary about her music, but when she hires a close friend to direct, notions of reality, identity, and authenticity grow increasingly distorted and bizarre. Starring Annie Clark, aka "St. Vincent", and Carrie Brownstein, with Ezra Buzzington, Toko Yasuda, Chris Aquilino, Drew Connick. This looks exceptionally strange and alluring; a touch of David Lynch and a dash of Christopher Guest. Sundance says it's "a funny metacritique of fame that relishes the power of reinvention while calling out our incessant demand for entertainment over authenticity." Radical.
