Mr. Roosevelt (2017)
In her feature directorial debut Noël Wells portrays Emily, a talented but hard-to-classify comedic performer who left behind her home and boyfriend to pursue career opportunities in L.A. When a loved one falls ill, Emily rushes back to Austin where shes forced to stay with her ex-boyfriend (Nick Thune) and his new-and-improved girlfriend (Britt Lower), a totally together woman with a five-year plan. Though Emily is the same everything else is different: her house has been smartly redecorated her rocker boyfriend is training to be a real estate agent, and her old haunts show serious signs of gentrification. Holed up in her own guest room, Emily who has no idea what she'll be doing five days from now, let alone five years is forced to question everyones values: are they sell-outs or have they just figured out what makes them happy? And is she following her dreams or is she just a self-absorbed loser?

    Enjoyable indie
    Yes, it's your typical navel-gazing Austin indie.

    But it's cute, refreshing, real, and it delivers some good insights a lot of people may need to grow as a person.

    May appeal to women more than men, despite lots of nudity.
