Exclusive: Boys Go to Jupiter, the debut feature film from acclaimed indie animator Julian Glander, has finalized its cast ahead of its Tribeca Film Festival premiere in June. Newly added to the lineup are Janeane Garofalo and Demi Adeyujigbe.
The cast also includes Jack Corbett (NPR’s Planet Money TikTok) Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade) Tavi Gevinson (Gossip Girl), Julio Torres (Los Espookys), Sarah Sherman (SNL), Joe Pera (Joe Pera Talks With You), Grace Kuhlenschmidt (The Daily Show), Singer-songwriter Miya Folick, as well as comedians Demi Adeyuijigbe, Chris Fleming, Cole Escola, River L.

Exclusive: Comedic multi-hyphenate Julio Torres (A24’s Problemista) has struck a deal with Ars Nova, the Off-Broadway, non-profit theater in NYC, that will see them partner to identify, develop, and commission full-length projects from early-career comedy artists.
The collaboration further expands Ars Nova’s two-decade commitment to new comedy at a time when support systems for NYC-based artists have decreased. Under the partnership, Torres and Ars Nova will look to provide comedians with opportunities for development and production outside of the traditional model of sketch shows and 10-minute sets. They’ll offer funding up front to create brand new, uniquely theatrical shows, while providing mentorship and development resources to the artists involved, the first set for a commission being Ars Nova Vision Residency Alum River L. Ramirez. Others will be announced at a later date.
To celebrate the alliance, Torres will return to the Ars Nova stage on October 26 to host Showgasm.
