"You're always funny." Gravitas Ventures has debuted an official trailer for an indie romantic comedy titled Daddy Issues, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Laura Holliday. Not to be confused with the other indie dramedy also titled Daddy Issues. This film originally premiered at the Valley Film Festival in 2018 and is only getting released this summer. When her emotionally distant father dies and leaves her his company, a 20-something, hapless stand-up comic named Henri must move from London to Los Angeles to take over the family business and somehow try to win her father’s approval, even after his death. "Henri finds humor in her darkest moments in this quirky slice-of life black comedy. That is, after all, how the light gets in." Starring Kimberley Datnow along with Tanner Rittenhouse, Alice Carroll Johnson, and Francis Lloyd Corby. Another of these strangely personal films that really doesn't have much to say at all.

“Disfluency,” a new short film from director Laura Holliday, starts with a university lecture on conversational speech. The professor points out that we often stutter, pause, or use filler words in our conversations. As he speaks, his lecture is intercut with scenes of Jane (Libe Barer), a young college student, doing all of those things as she goes about her daily life.
Her repeated use of the phrase “I’m sorry” is the eponymous disfluency: often unnoticed interruptions in the otherwise smooth flow of speech.
Shortly after, Jane is raped at a party. The aftermath of this becomes her new disfluency; no one knows what happened. She can’t bring herself to admit it, to her friends, her boyfriend, or even herself. Whenever she tries to speak, she pauses or simply apologizes again.
These feelings of shame and isolation are typical of any sexual assault story. Where “Disfluency” diverges from the norm,...
