Mubi releases full trailer for Jack Begert feature debut Junk

Distributor Mubi has released the official trailer for Junk, a dark slacker comedy set across Los Angeles, FirstShowing reported. The project marks the feature film directorial debut of music video director Jack Begert. Begert wrote the screenplay alongside co-writer Dani Goffstein. [1][4]

The ensemble cast includes David Schwimmer, Winona Ryder, and Jena Malone, according to FirstShowing. Wikipedia lists a broader cast that features Schwimmer, Malone, Gaby Hoffmann, Karl Glusman, Dominic Fike, Talia Ryder, and Sante Bentivoglio. [1][4]

Darren Aronofsky serves as a producer on the film through his Protozoa Pictures production banner. The narrative structure consists of an interconnected series of stories taking place across Los Angeles. [1][4]

The production follows the traditional narrative style of ensemble slacker comedies like the 1990 film Slacker, which was written and directed by Richard Linklater. That Austin based production similarly used a revolving narrative structure that followed eccentric locals across a single day. [3]
