An integral part of the Sundance festivities ever since she premiered Humpday there in 2009 (she followed that up with a showing of Your Sister’s Sister, last year’s premiere of Touchy Feely and has shored up at the fest as an actress and even voice-over narrator), Seattleite Lynn Shelton didn’t spend much time resting on her laurels, snapped up some A-grade indie actors and started lensing this past June. Laggies sees Shelton reteaming with Cinematographer Benjamin Kasulke and editor Nat Sanders, and the dramedy features the solid ensemble of Chloë Grace Moretz, Keira Knightley, Sam Rockwell, Tiya Sircar, Mark Webber and one of the current “it” indie actresses in Kaitlyn Dever.
