We have some new movie trailer and poster news for you today as Central City Media has confirmed that their latest drama, Adopting Audrey will be released across digital platforms from 13th March and will be screening at this year’s Glasgow Film Festival.Â
Directed by Michael Cahill (King Of California), the film stars Jena Malone (Donnie Darko, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), Robert Hunger-Bühler (Money.Murder.Zurich., The Saboteurs) & Emily Kuroda (Gilmore Girls, The Good Doctor).
Fired from her seventh job in two years and estranged from her family, Audrey (Jena Malone) dwells in a distinctly modern solitude, relying on Youtube for companionship. One night, a video rabbit hole leads her to the world of adult adoption, and she is inspired to try it herself.
Audrey finds an adoptive family whose dysfunction mirrors her own and forms an unlikely bond with the misanthropic patriarch, Otto (Robert Hunger-Bühler), who is rough around the edges and has a few strained relationships of his own.
Adopting Audrey is an offbeat tale of a woman’s longing to belong and features stand-out performances from Jena Malone and Robert Hunger-Bühler as two people finding common ground in their idiosyncrasies. Based on a true story, Adopting Audrey is a funny and heartwarming film which serves as a reminder that sometimes the best kind of family is the one we choose.
The movie’s director has said, “I’m interested in the near-misses in human relationships. The times we almost, but not quite, connect with one another. What are people thinking about when we’re not paying attention? What have we missed? What relationships could we have formed if we had just tried harder? Been more open? This was the genesis of this film, a story of a woman who decides to construct an unconventional connection on her own terms”, said Michael Cahill.
“Seven years ago, I met a woman named Jenna Macfarlane, who told me the story of her search for an adoptive family as an adult. I completely understood her decision to do that. Who doesn’t want to choose their own family at some time in their lives? What an opportunity it would be to build these crucial relationships once we are older and wiser. I knew that Jenna’s story was one that, despite its unusual circumstances, was deeply relatable”, Michael added.
Adopting Audrey  will be available on Digital Download from 13th March
