Director Alex Ross Perry presents the trailer for his latest film Listen Up Philip, which recently premiered at Sundance Film Festival. Starring Jason Schwartzman, Elisabeth Moss, Jonathan Pryce, Krysten Ritter, and Josephine de La Baume, the film follows Philip (played by Schwartzman) as he awaits the publications of his second novel, which is apparently sure-to-succeed.

As he waits, he begins to feel increasingly pushed out of his adopted home city by the “constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley, and his own indifference to promoting the novel.” Suddenly Philip’s idol, Ike Zimmerman, appears and offers him an isolated summer home as a refuge, allowing him to get some alone time and focus on his favourite subject: himself.
