Indie distributor Utopia, currently in theaters with Holy Spider, anticipates music documentary Meet Me In The Bathroom will be its biggest weekend opening to date.
It’s holding onto numbers for Sunday from one-night premieres this past week in LA at the Fonda and in NY at Webster Hall with live performances by The Moldy Peaches, Adam Green, Wah Together and special guests Tim Heidecker and Jim Jarmusch. This weekend, the event film by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, co-produced by Vice, Xtr and Pulse Films, opens at the IFC Center and Los Feliz with multiple shows sold out.

It’s easy to get existential in the wake of a global pandemic. Why are we here? What do we mean to each other? When you lose someone, what happens to all the love you felt for them?
If you’re Vanessa, the protagonist of the new indie tearjerker “I’m Totally Fine,” you bottle up all your grief until you feel like you’re going to explode. And then suddenly you have to face it, because you get visited by a space alien that looks exactly like your dead best friend.
So goes the witty, bittersweet conceit of this film, the first feature from director Brandon Dermer (“Flatbush Misdemeanors”) and writer Alisha Ketry. Despite its sci-fi bend, the greatest strength of “I’m Totally Fine” is its smallness. A stellar script and two standout performances from Jillian Bell and the sensational Natalie Morales round out this sweet little flick which,...

Exclusive: What We Do In The Shadows and Workaholics producer Kyle Newacheck has teamed with music video vet Brandon Dermer for the sci-fi dramedy I’m Totally Fine. Set to lead the project are Jillian Bell and Natalie Morales.
I’m Totally Fine follows a Vanessa (Bell), a woman in mourning who takes a solo trip to clear her head after the death of her friend (Morales). However, Vanessa’s self-care vacation plans change when she’s met with a situation out of this world.
