‘True Blood’ Cast Member Carrie Preston Directs ‘That’s What She Said’ – Red-Band Trailer

Carrie Preston, who you may know better as Arlene on HBO’s True Blood, has her second feature film, That’s What She Said, opening October 19th, and Phase 4 released the red-band trailer for it yesterday. The film follows the recent trend of the all-girl comedy that Bridesmaids made popular, this time focusing on a group of friends and their awkward sexual encounters.The film stars Anne Heche, Alia Shawkat, and Marcia DeBonis, and is written by Kellie Overbey. Here’s the synopsis and red-band trailer:

Bebe (Marcia DeBonis) is getting ready for the most romantic encounter of her life, and she needs her best friend Dee Dee (Anne Heche) to cheer her on. Too bad Dee Dee is so cynical about dating that she shows up three hours late only to spew cigarette smoke and bitterness all over the morning coffee. And too bad Clementine, a train wreck of a stranger (Alia Shawkat) has decided to invade their day with non-stop talk about her nymphomaniac escapades.  Looking to turn the day around, this fearsome threesome embark on a day of misadventure that only New York City can offer. THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID is a quirky and honest look at friendship in the face of adversity, asking one of life’s great questions: why does it always have to be so hard? (That’s what she said.)
