Pasqual Gutierrez and Ben Mullinkosson change the indie game with their unorthodox comedy hit – Interview
The witty, charming and outright absurd indie comedy was a hit at Sundance and is continuing its tour with stops in NYC this month. Serious People stars Pasqual Gutierrez and is co-directed along with Ben Mullinkosson. The film follows music video director Pasqual as he looks to find a doppelganger to take over his work duties so he can attend the birth of his first child. The hysteria ensues from that point forward.
The Countdown City Geeks attended the Los Angeles premiere of the film and had a chance to interview the directors as well as producer Laurel Thomson and actor Miguel Huerta. Hear about how indie movie magic is made, how going with your instincts is always the way to go and how fulfilling it is to film in LA for this crew.

Synopsis: Successful Music Video director Pasqual Gutierrez is faced with a dilemma on the due date of his first-born child: a job offer for his biggest video yet. Frustrated with his poor work/life balance, Gutierrez casts a doppelgänger named Miguel to take over his work duties in his director duo Cliqua as he prepares to take an extended paternity leave. But as Pasqual starts to spend more time with Miguel to teach him how to step into this new role, Pasqual’s relationship and his work suffer, ending with a disastrous music video shoot. SERIOUS PEOPLE explores what it means to be a “director,” a parent, and the replaceability of people in clout-heavy Los Angeles.
