More from Deadline

The first feature from writer-director Andrew DeYoung, Friendship follows Craig Waterman (Robinson), who enjoys his life. He likes New Balance shoes, Subway sandwiches, and Marvel movies. He lives in the suburbs with his wife, Tami, and son, Steven. He’s happy to work at Universal Digital, a company that helps brands make their products more habit-forming. Craig sees no reason to change anything or make new friends… until weatherman Austin (Rudd) moves into the neighborhood. Mysterious yet friendly, macho but vulnerable, Austin transforms everything for Craig, but Craig’s obsessive and childlike nature threatens to ruin the friendship, and possibly everything else in his life.

In addition to financing the project, Fifth Season is producing alongside BoulderLight’s J. D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules. DeYoung and Tracy Rosenblum are exec producing, with WME Independent, UTA, and Fifth Season co-repping domestic sales.
