Katie Aselton is best known for her work alongside her husband Mark Duplass in comedies such as The League and Togetherness. But she’s built a solid career as a writer/director, as well, with films such as The Freebie, Black Rock (my first Sundance movie), and Mack & Rita. Now Aselton’s back with the desert relationship drama, Magic Hour, starring alongside Daveed Diggs.
Aselton and Diggs star as Erin and Charlie, who escape to the desert to navigate a challenging new period in their relationship. But this getaway yields some unexpected surprises and a surreal, magical component that makes Magic Hour anything but your standard romantic drama.
Also in the cast are Brad Garrett and Susan Sullivan, both seen in the trailer. Aselton co-wrote the screenplay with Duplass, the two having made their share of projects about complicated matters of the heart.
Greenwich Entertainment will release Magic Hour in theaters on May 15th.
