THE SUNLIT NIGHT Trailer Starring Jenny Slate

The trailer has been released for The Sunlit Night, a comedy starring Jenny Slate as a painter who gets a job as an assistant to a famous artist in Norway. The film is directed by David Wnendt (Wetlands) and based on the book by Rebecca Dinerstein. Alex Sharp, Fridtjov Såheim, David Paymer, Gillian Anderson, and Zach Galifianakis also star.

The Sunlit Night will be available on VOD platforms July 17th.

The Sunlit Night follows an aspiring painter (Slate) from New York City to the farthest reaches of Arctic Norway for an assignment she hopes will invigorate her work and expand her horizons. In a remote village, among the locals, she meets a fellow New Yorker (Sharp), who has come in search of a proper Viking funeral only to find that the Chief (Galifianakis) is but a re-enactor from Cincinnati. The eclectic crew ranges from “home” to “lost,” within the extreme and dazzling landscape of the Far North. Under a sun that never quite sets, and the high standards of an unforgiving mentor, Frances must navigate between ambition, desire, obligation, and risk in order to find a way forward.
