Sofa, So Good

In this hilarious and strange first feature from Kyle, Eli, and Cole Thiele (a.k.a. the Thiele Brothers), two cousins embark on an absurdist and dangerous quest to carry a recently bought ornate couch across the treacherous landscape of Dayton, Ohio.Shot entirely in the Dayton area, this film follows cousins Jake and Red in their attempt to bring a couch home—but with no car to transport it. Facing the elements and an ever-growing set of local oddballs standing in their way of getting the couch across town, the cousins’ journey becomes an existential odyssey filled with absurdist comedy and droll idiosyncrasy. Recalling the work of Jim Jarmusch and Richard Linklater with its gorgeously stark black-and-white cinematography and dry, offbeat humor, SOFA, SO GOOD delivers consistent laughs while capturing the unexpected strangeness of everyday life and the obstacles that can stand in the way of even the most mundane task. –C.F.WORLD PREMIEREGUEST(S) IN ATTENDANCE
