The new trailer for Mark, Mary, & Some Other People looks at modern love in the indie film from writer and director Hannah Marks.
In the film, Marks has mastered the modern struggle with monogamy and the pressure that many feel to uphold the idea of traditional marriage through our modern setting. Starring Ben Rosenfield, Hayley Law, Nik Dodani, Odessa A'zion, Matt Shively, Sofia Bryant, Maggie Wheeler, Joe Lo Truglio, Haley Ramm with Gillian Jacobs, and Lea Thompson,
The film is produced by Stephen Braun, Jon Lullo, Brendan Walter, Jonathan Duffy, Kelly Williams, Pete Williams, and Marks. Mark, Mary, & Some Other People is hitting theaters this November 5 after a successful Tribeca run.
The trailer gives us a look at Mark (Rosenfield) and Mary (Law) falling in love and getting married seemingly on a whim but married life doesn't seem like a perfect world from them, especially for Mary who feels like it is too adult. So in an effort to find a good balance for them as a couple, Mary suggests they try an open relationship and it doesn't seem to be the easiest thing for either of them.
It's a fascinating look at love and romance in the modern age and the trailer has the perfect amount of charm, humor, and drama to keep us engaged in Mark and Mary's love story. And with a creative like Marks behind the lens and writing the film herself, we're surely in for an emotional ride through modern love.
