“People People” Rockets Online; A Must See Millennial Romantic Comedy by Lizzie Logan

People People is the story of Kat (Natalie Walker), an Internet-obsessed 25-year-old living alone in her (mother’s) penthouse apartment in Chicago. A self-diagnosed agoraphobe, Kat never goes outside, and the only non-family-member she interacts with is her delivery guy, Colin (David Rosenberg). When Kat and Colin start to fall for each other, Kat is forced to step outside her comfort zone. Literally.

Watch People People

Privilege, friendship, love, anxiety, social media, memes, selfies, online shopping, jealousy and the enduring appeal of The OC combine to make this millennial rom com a witty delight.

People People was written and directed by comedy writer Lizzie Logan. Underemployed and tired of waiting for a producer, a fellowship or a company to give her permission to make stuff, Lizzie took a script she’d been working on and showed it to her friend Joshua Ruffner, an enormously savvy DP with his own crew and equipment. The cast came together through friends and connections in the NYC acting scene.

Natalie Walker, an actress, comedian and Internet star in her own right was perfect for the lead role, and she and Rosenberg decamped with the crew to Lizzie’s mother’s apartment in Chicago for two weeks in the summer of 2016 for principal photography. They slept, ate and shot on set, and somehow didn’t kill each other, which in itself is a small miracle.

On a next-to-nothing budget, with a highly talented group of up-and-coming young artists, many of them recent graduates, People People came together in time to submit to festivals for 2018. It premiered in April at the Ashland Independent Film Festival and went on to screen at the Citizen Jane Film Festival, the Lift-Off NYC Film Festival and the deadCenter Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Narrative Feature.
