See four new clips from Magnolia Pictures' "Humpday," starring Mark Duplass, Joshua Leonard, Alycia Delmore, Lynn Shelton and Trina Willard. The film came out this Friday in New York and Los Angeles and is helmed by Lynn Shelton. It’s been a decade since Ben (Duplass) and Andrew (Leonard) were the bad boys of their college campus. Ben has settled down and found a job, wife, and home. Andrew took the alternate route as a vagabond artist, skipping the globe from Chiapas to Cambodia. When Andrew shows up unannounced on Ben’s doorstep, they easily fall back into their old dynamic of macho one-upmanship. Late into the night at a wild party, the two find themselves locked in a mutual dare: to enter an amateur porn contest together.

If two straight guys decide to have sex together for an "art project," does that make them gay? Brave? Or just arty in a new and pathetically pretentious way? In "Humpday," director Lynn Shelton leaves those questions unresolved, which does stir thought. If only thought-stirring were all we wanted from a movie.
Essentially, Shelton's two protagonists, Ben (Mark Duplass) and Andrew (Joshua Leonard), seem clueless about who they really are on any level. Ben is a Seattle transportation planner — a settled-down slacker — who's living an idyllic white-picket-fence life with his wife, Anna (Alycia Delmore). Andrew is a free-as-a-breeze "artist" who has yet to create any art. Ben and Andrew are old friends with an ostentatiously intense bond. Andrew's been out of touch for a while (working on another "project" in Mexico), but when he shows up at...

Director: Lynn Shelton Writer(s): Lynn Shelton Starring: Mark Duplass, Joshua Leonard, Alycia Delmore, Lynn Shelton, Trina Willard Let's play a game! First, imagine a film titled Humpday directed by Chuck Levine, starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James. Next, imagine a film titled Humpday directed by Judd Apatow, starring Seth Rogen and Paul Judd. Ok, now imagine the above-mentioned films with the following plot: two male friends reunite after not seeing each other for an extended period of time. One friend is married and settled down in a "white picket fence" lifestyle; the other friend is a freewheeling nomad pulled straight from the pages of Kerouac. During a drunken and drugged-out binge, the two friends decide that they are going to make a porn film together in which two straight guys (played by the two friends) have sex. You can pretty much image how both of those films would turn out,...

SXSW is one of my favorite festivals of the year as it showcases some of the best and most innovative real independent films, and with this host of world premiers, it's also playing alot of Sundance material as well as genre fare from all over the world, many of which we've covered heavily in these pages.
From the Sundance lineup, we have films like Moon, The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle, You Won't Miss Me, Grace, and Humpday, among others.
For the world genre material we've covered, there's Lake Mungo, The Square, Zift, and Awaydays.
