You may not have heard of the award-winning film Dependent’s Day. Until now. The breakout indie film that received much acclaim during its festival circuit run earlier this year is (finally!) available on demand everywhere.
The breakout relationship comedy, which has been described as having “the feel of recent Judd Apatow films” was written, directed, produced and edited by Michael David Lynch. Whew!
After realizing that his girlfriend (played by Benita Robledo) is the breadwinner of their relationship, aspiring actor Cam (Joe Burke) subjects himself to a series of humiliating jobs and experiences to prove that he is not a dependent.. We found the film to be a hilarious and authentic comedy about the adventures and struggles of being in the midst of a relationship and making it work.
Dependent’s Day is now available on all major cable and satellite providers and to stream digitally on Amazon Instant Video US, Sling TV, iTunes, VUDU, Xbox, YouTube and other locations.
“I am elated that this film has resonated so well with audiences of all ages in the film festival circuit,” says Lynch. “You never know when you are making a movie how people are going to respond to it. It was incredible to have our limited theatrical release in October and I’m thrilled that now audiences across the North America will be able to enjoy this film because it is now available everywhere.”
The film is unlike most other Hollywood romantic comedies because it has a semblance of reality and strong female characters that are endearing throughout the movie. “I had lots of strong women in my life as I was growing up so I really couldn’t write this film without including that component,” adds Lynch. “I wanted to write something that reflected my experience and see if it resonated with the audiences. Apparently, the fans enjoy intelligent funny women in roles too.”
