It’s Very Common Trailer, 43s

Synopsis:

Set in a collective house in Brooklyn, NY we spend a day or so with Amanda as she lives through the miscarriage of what would have been her second child. Led by her need to keep things light around her daughter we witness as she manages heavy feelings with her signature dry wit.

Director’s Statement:

‘It’s Very Common’ is the movie I needed to make to share what it was like to go through an event no one ever talks about. It’s wild how many pregnancies end abruptly and yet it feels like a secret we’re not supposed to share. I had to share.

The main character, Amanda, doesn’t know how to react any more than anyone else does so she leans into her dry wit and deadpan attempt at making dark jokes. How do you react when your friend is making jokes about her miscarriage? That’s the genesis of this film.

I hope that sharing these totally normal people having this completely human experience opens up lines of dialogue but also warms hearts because it is meant to be a story of hope. They will try again.

FESTIVAL PLACEMENTS:

Athena Film Festival, Oxford Film Festival, Big Apple Film Festival, Brooklyn Women’s Film Festival, qFLIX Philadelphia.
