Lucy Schulman
Ellie Sachs wears all the hats in her Tribeca 2026 film Lucy Schulman. The film follows a woman’s boy-crazy tendencies as they guide her life choices, and not for the better.
David Cross plays Lucy’s adorably kind father, Peter. Sachs and Cross share a chemistry that is cinematic magic. Their deliciously codependent relationship is like a warm hug of happy memories.
Lucy’s all-in approach to her love life slowly proves detrimental to her work and friendships, and eventually her partners. Her romantic hyperfocus becomes all-consuming, and little by little she chips away at every other relationship. Sometimes it takes everything falling apart to figure out how to get your shit together.

![Fire at Will (2025) - [www.imdb.com]](https://i0.wp.com/reelnewsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/Fire-at-Will-2025-www.imdb_.com_.png?resize=566%2C884&ssl=1)
FIRE AT WILL looks fantastic. Jared Levy‘s camerawork is most immersed and intimate. Kyle Moriarty‘s quick-take editing is perfect. The fast-paced dialogue filled with self-absorbed personalities is every kitchen table conversation featuring adult children and their parents. As the firstborn of four loud children in an Irish Italian household, I can attest to the authenticity in the chaos of Gruer’s script, right down to the mother storming out in emotionally exhausted dramatics and the unspoken connection between father and artistic daughter. The cast nails each ping-pong match beat. FIRE AT WILL is a spectacular treatment for a feature. I need to know what happens next.
Filmed in my and Kind’s neighborhood of the Upper West Side, the film takes place as Chloe describes it, making the scenario even funnier. Do I want to see the feature-length version of this? Yup. Is this perhaps the most convincing actual proof of concept ever created? I think it might.
