Our Idiot Brother

Jesse Peretz

Sisters Liz (Emily Mortimer of TV's NEWSROOM), Miranda (Elizabeth Banks of TV's 30 ROCK, HUNGER GAMES) and Natalie (Zooey Deschanel of TV's NEW GIRL), have an idiot for a brother. Perennially upbeat Ned (Paul Rudd of I LOVE YOU MAN, 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN), an erstwhile organic farmer, is utterly lacking in common sense. After his girlfriend dumps him and boots him off their farm, Ned turns to his sisters, who once again come to his rescue, each taking a turn housing their troublemaker sibling. Ned's unfailing commitment to honesty creates more than a few messes in their comfortable routines, but as the sisters' lives begin to unravel, they come to realize that maybe, in his steadfast optimism, Ned isn't such an idiot after all. Also starring Adam Scott (TV's PARKS & RECREATION) and Rashida Jones (TV's PARKS & RECREATION, I LOVE YOU MAN).


The Château

Jesse Peretz

A hilarious, bi-cultural comedy from filmmaker Jesse Peretz (First Love, Last Rites) and IFC Films. Inspired by Peretz's experiences living and working abroad, this indie film finds an abundance of humor in the comic misunderstandings that occur when two mismatched American brothers (Paul Rudd and Romany Malco) journey to France to claim an unexpected inheritance. Bringing a little attitude' and a lot of ignorance with them, they find the chateau's French inhabitants to be a lot more than they bargained for.
