Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
A little friendship never killed anyone.
Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon
Produced by Indian Paintbrush, Rhode Island Ave. Productions
A wistful, darkly comedic coming-of-age story about friendship and mortality that balances absurdist humor with genuine emotional weight.
Greg is coasting through senior year of high school as anonymously as possible, avoiding social interactions like the plague while secretly making spirited, bizarre films with Earl, his only friend. But both his anonymity and friendship threaten to unravel when his mother forces him to befriend a classmate with leukemia.
