A24 has dropped the first trailer for ‘Showing Up’, the latest from acclaimed filmmaker Kelly Reichardt. It is led by Michelle Williams. Joining Williams is Hong Chau, Maryann Plunkett, John Magaro, André Benjamin, James Le Gros, and Judd Hirsch.
“The film is a particularized portrait of a sculptor’s daily work and frustrations in an artists’ enclave in Portland,” reads the synopsis (via New York Film Festival). “Lizzy (Williams) struggles to put the finishing touches on her latest pieces for a gallery show, all the while juggling admin work at the local art school; dealing with the neglect of her well-meaning landlord (a funny and nuanced Hong Chau), who also happens to be a rising-star conceptual artist; and tending to the emotional well being of her increasingly fragmented family.”
