The brand new trailer and poster for Sophie Brooks’ directorial debut, THE BOY DOWNSTAIRS is here. The feature stars Zosia Mamet, Matthew Shear, Sarah Ramos, Deidre O’Connell and Diana Irvine.
Diana (Zosia Mamet) moves back to New York City after a few years abroad and finds the perfect Brooklyn apartment for a fresh start. Yet on the first night in her new home, she discovers that her ex-boyfriend Ben (Matthew Shear) lives in the apartment below hers. After an awkward reunion, Diana proclaims her intentions for a genuine friendship. But as old wounds are opened, both Diana and Ben are forced to confront the true nature of their feelings.

“First love changes it all. Expectations are unparalleled and the thought of staying with that person forever can seem equally exciting and terrifying. The stories I most like to tell are personal and simple ones that look at how we get in our own way and can often self-sabotage. THE BOY DOWNSTAIRS explores the feelings of fear and doubt that creep in and out of the mind of a young person in love. I hope to make films that portray how women and relationships can be challenging and honest and funny and sad all at the same time,” says director Brooks, who is a “big fan of classic ‘romantic comedies’ like Annie Hall and When Harry Met Sally.”
FilmRise will release the film in NY on February 16th and in LA on February 23rd with additional cities to follow.
THE BOY DOWNSTAIRS is an official selection of 2017 Tribeca Film Festival.
