Film Arcade Picks up Kris Swanberg’s UNEXPECTED

Film Arcade has announced they’ve acquired the U.S. rights to Kris Swanberg‘s Unexpected, which just recently had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. The film stars Cobie Smulders as a teacher who becomes pregnant and forms an unlikely bond with one of her students played by Gail Bean who also happens to be pregnant.

Film Arcade is playing a release for Unexpected sometime this Summer.

Here’s the synopsis from Sundance:

Samantha is a high school science teacher at a low-income school about to close, and she has just found out she’s pregnant. Though her boyfriend, John, proposes and is thrilled to begin a new life together, Sam struggles with the idea of halting her career to be a full-time mother. Simultaneously, one of Sam’s brightest students, Jasmine, has also become pregnant. Sam makes it her mission to get Jasmine into college and bonds with her over their impending motherhood. Unbeknownst to Sam, Jasmine is wiser than she gives her credit for, and when things don’t go exactly according to Sam’s plan, she must reexamine what is best for herself and for the people she loves.
