Humpday review and interview + last chance for free tickets

I just stumbled upon this Blackbook piece on Humpday – an indie comedy screening in Montreal this week under the umbrella of the Just For Laughs Festival, which Indyish is lucky to be able to offer you free tickets to, if you move quick. I thought I’d quickly share the review so if you’re on the fence about how to spend your precious time as the days speed by and you wonder What Am I Doing with my Life? this might help narrow the question down:

It’s the Seattle-based artist’s third feature film, and after a parade of accolades from Sundance and beyond, it might be the last one she makes under the noble DIY banner. The film is an often hilarious portrait of two friends who’ve taken separate paths in life—one a burgeoning family man, the other a self-styled world traveler—who reunite and decide to film themselves having sex—amateur porn as art—to prove they’ve still got it, whatever it is. It’s a droll premise, but Shelton films the proceedings with an eye towards cinema verité, and devotion to spontaneity resulting in something moving and real. Here the director talks about the intersection of art and motherhood, her newfound opportunities, and why she’s terrified of Hollywood.

Check out the interview with Humpday director Lynn Shelton, and get in on the free ticket action while you can – contest ends tomorrow.
