“She Said, She Said” A film for Co S/S 2013 by Stuart Blumberg
LA based label Co presents a new short film directed by Stuart Blumberg, the Oscar nominated writer of “The Kids are All Right” the short film stars Marisa Tomei, French actress Elodie Bouchez, Aubrey Plaza and cult comedian David Wain. The short features the Co Spring 13 collection, and marks Co’s fourth season and fourth cinematic collaboration in a series that has come to be a major part of the brands success. Justin Kern co-founder of Co explains the new offering “We used dialogue for the first time in last season’s animated film, Tependris Rising. We had a lot of fun with that short, so we really wanted to continue in the direction of comedy and scripted, dialogue-heavy narratives.
So using this inspiration to include an element of comedy “She Said, She Said” finds a lesbian couple (played by Tomei and Bouchez) on the brink of divorce as they divide their possessions in mediation. Through each object, we get a glimpse of their relationship and the sometimes humorous and sexy power that objects can hold. Kern explains his careful choice of director by saying “Stuart Blumberg wrote one of our favorite movies, “The Kids are All Right” and just directed his first feature, “Thanks for Sharing” starring Gwyneth Paltrow. He’s great with female characters and he captures that perfect tone that is comedic, sexy, and adult, which we felt was perfect for the Co woman.” Co can be found online here
