Hot Indie Film Trailer: Terri

I saw the trailer for Terri when I went to go see Midnight in Paris. It seemed very quirky but also down to earth, thus a genuine coming-of-age story. Directed by Sundance favorite Azazel Jacobs, Terri is the story of -yes, you guessed it right!- Terri (played by newbie Jacob Wysocki), an overweight, lonely high school boy. As he constantly gets harassed in school and struggles in classes, he finds solace in the most unlikely place: office of the assistant principal, Mr. Fizgerald (John C. Reilly). Our pajama wearing Terri befriends Mr. Fitzgerald and through this friendship, they learn different things about themselves and about life. It sounds very cliche but the trailer proves to be different. Also, Terri is “The Pic of the Week” at indieWIRE! It was also nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Terri opens this Friday, July 1st. Make sure to go and see it!
