Premiering March 14 at the film component of SXSW, Lebanon, PA is the story of Philly ad man Will who returns home for his father's funeral. The epic Return Home Due to Dead Dad Issues isn't a new concept (see: Elizabethtown, among others), but this movie looks to up the quirk factor and doesn't seem to include any Manic Pixie Dream Girls (see: Kirsten Dunst in Elizabethtown), not to mention new tunes from Matt Pond PA and post-production work from Philly's own DIVE post production house (who worked on The Road and The Art of the Steal).

(Secretly I'm also excited because I love Josh Hopkins, who plays Will, because he's on Cougartown. And I love Cougartown. Shhh ... Don't tell anyone.)
