Laura Gets a Cat
Running time: 83 mins
When you're chasing your tail, life is always just out of reach. Thirty-two-year-old Laura is coasting, waiting for her life to fall into place like it has for her friends, with houses in the suburbs or gigs on the Jimmy Kimmel show. The draft of Lauras novel is never quite ready, and she can't bring herself to settle down with her supportive, unexciting boyfriend. Even an affair with an intriguing performance artist isn't enough to keep her interest for long. But the harder she works to be herself," the less satisfying her life becomes. Director Michael Ferrell (Twenty-Million People, Cinequest 2013) crafts a hilarious tale where only in Lauras fantasies does everything work out... well, mostly! Pia Chamberlain
