WINNER! Narrative Feature Audience Award, SXSW Film Festival

In this smart, New York-set romantic comedy, an anxious, 30-something law school dropout (writer/director Matthew Shear) stumbles into a job babysitting his psychiatrist’s three granddaughters and falls for the girls’ mother (Amanda Peet), an actress in a rocky marriage with a fledging rock star.  As the pair find surprising intimacies by bonding over shared neuroses about lives they no longer feel they control, Fantasy Life reveals itself as a deeply honest character study and a captivating comedy of modern anxiety.  Featuring a stellar supporting cast including Alessandro Nivola, Judd Hirsch, Bob Balaban, Andrea Martin, Zosia Mamet, and Holland Taylor. Winner of the SXSW Narrative Feature Audience Award. (Dir. by Matthew Shear, 2025, USA, 91 mins., Rated R)
