Listen Up Philip
A multitude of frustrations plague a writer in this indie dark comedy. Features a great pairing in Rushmore's Jason Schwartzman and Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss.
With his second novel still in the waiting line to be published and his relationship with his girlfriend photographer (Moss) slowly crumbling, self-indulgent author Philip (Schwartzman) is offered a retreat getaway by his idol in order to pay more attention to the one person who needs it the most: himself.

Hollywood Reporter
press[An] indisputably talented work for its risk-taking, dark humour and barbed portraiture of creative individuals...
