(drama/comedy)
The indie-feature titled Nice People, set and shot in Maine, premiered at the Maine International Film Festival in July 2023.
Film Synopsis:
Old lovers reunite, a friendship is betrayed, a pet is killed, a runaway discovered, and a co-worker comes back from the dead in these five interconnected tales about suffering from kindness. Shot over five-years worth of weekends featuring a massive cast and crew, this ambitious, feature-length, no-budget indie shows a side of Maine not seen anywhere else (no lobstermen here, sorry) and finds bleak comedy in a backwater state being dragged into a diverse and inclusive 21st century. For fans of Aki Kaurismäki, Jim Jarmusch, and J.D. Salinger.
“Nice People presents five interconnected stories of Mainers each coping with everyday perils of simply being human.”
