Matt Oberg (Ugly Americans), Stephen Schneider (Best Friends Forever), and Anna Chlumsky (In the Loop) topline an indie comedy with a title designed to catch your eye: Bert and Arnie's Guide to Friendship.  Oberg plays Bert, "a sensitive professor and author of feminist literature who deep down churns with sexual frustration."  Schneider is Arnie, "a loud, obnoxious, womanizing businessman who's completely oblivious to how inappropriate he is in almost every situation."  Variety reports that Adrian Martinez (Kick-Ass), Debargo Sanyal (Blue Bloods), and Cristin Milioti (30 Rock) also star.

Bert and Arnie marks Jeff Kaplan's feature directorial debut; Kaplan co-wrote the script with Ian Springer.  The Justified Ends Entertainment production began shooting late last month in New York.
