Andrew Bujalski

An instant critic's darling upon its release, Mutual Appreciation is at once an utterly timeless and distinctly mid-aughts portrait of the ebb and flow of twenty-something life in NYC. Along with the equally lauded Funny Ha Ha, it signaled the triumphant arrival of indie auteur Andrew Bujalski, who has gone on to write and direct a series of acclaimed features including Support the Girls.

A sexy, hip comedy about a one-night stand that forever changes the lives of a group of friends and lovers in San Francisco.

Returning to society after time in prison, a man navigates the ins and outs of finding a job and seeking rehabilitation as a registered sex offender.

Marnie is 23, and drifts through Funny Ha Ha, Andrew Bujalski's critically acclaimed debut feature, in search of romance and employment. The film's conversations sound improvised and the narrative rhythms appear loose and ambling as it paints a deft group portrait of recent college graduates-Marnie’s friends, co-workers and would-be lovers.
