Independent film distributor Gravitas Ventures has acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights to “Another Happy Day,” written and directed by Nora Fiffer. The comedy, starring Lauren Lapkus, Marilyn Dodds Frank, Jean Elie and Carrie Coon is set to release on digital and cable video on demand Oct. 1.
Per the film’s logline: “Desperate for some company, delirious new mother Joanna tumbles into an unlikely friendship with her estranged Aunt Miriam, a reclusive actress. Miriam seems the perfect companion for Joanna: she’s artsy, honest, eccentric, and she hates babies. But all goes haywire when Joanna attempts to mother her aunt instead of her baby. ‘Another Happy Day’ is an absurd, tense comedy exploring postpartum depression, intergenerational friendship, and what it means to be family.”
Mike Castle, Francis Guinan, Hanna Dworkin, Alex Weisman, Bryan Coffee, Adam Poss, Nora Fiffer, Jessie Holder Tourtellotte and Tim Kazurinsky round out the cast.

Netflix is about to make its Broadway producing debut, joining the team of Peter Morgan’s upcoming play Patriots.
The play from the creator of the Netflix signature series The Crown arrives on Broadway April 1 for a 12-week engagement following a record-breaking run at London’s Almeida Theatre and a sold-out 12-week West End transfer at the Noël Coward Theatre. Opening night at Broadway’s Ethel Barrymore Theatre is April 22.
The play is set in 1991 after the fall of the Soviet Union and chronicles the rise of oligarchs like billionaire Boris Berezovsky (Michael Stuhlbarg) and a little-known deputy mayor of St. Petersburg named Vladimir Putin (Will Keen). When an eventual successor to President Boris Yeltsin is needed, Berezovsky turns to Putin, whose ruthless rise threatens Berezovsky’s reign and sets off a confrontation between the two powerful, fatally flawed men.
