In a time when new technology has made it easy to make a film, filmmakers come by the dozen. After shuffling through the trillions of unoriginal and terrible films, you find someone who’s got a lot of talent behind that digital camera. From that sentence, you probably already know I’m going to follow up with, “meet so-and-so,” which would make you very observant and correct. Meet Gary King, co-writer/director of the indie film, WHAT’S UP LOVELY.

I haven’t seen this yet, but man does it look colorful and beautiful. WHAT’S UP LOVELY follows Luci (Jenn Dees) through the streets of New York. She lost her job, it’s late, her mind wanders, so she embarks on a journey. Weird-but-interesting stuff happens.

Check out the trailer and official synopsis after the jump! You can follow WHAT’S UP LOVELY on Twitter, and become a fan on Facebook. Support indie filmmaking, it’s where the heart of cinema began.
