In tandem with Channel 4's Generation Next series of programmes, Film4 presents a short season of films from up-and-coming directors. After the success of Funny Ha-Ha , which is also showing in the season tomorrow night, Andrew Bujalski's second film stars Justin Rice as Alan, an aspiring singer-songwriter who hopes to further his career in New York. Staying with his best friend Lawrence (Bujalski) and his girlfriend Ellie (Rachel Clift), who takes a shine to him, he tries to carve a career path while staying clear of distracting entanglements.
