Ahead of its theatrical release this November, a poster and trailer have arrived online for the comedy drama Hippo.
Written and directed by Mark H. Rapaport, the film centres on step-siblings Hippo and Buttercup and tells the coming-of-age hormone-fueled, tragicomic waking nightmare upbringing of the pair in 1990s America.
The cast includes Kimball Farley, Lilla Kizlinger, Eliza Roberts, Eric Roberts, and Jesse Pimentel. Watch the trailer below…
HIPPO examines the coming-of-age of two step-siblings: Hippo, a video-game addicted teenager and Buttercup, a Hungarian Catholic immigrant with a love of classical music and Jesus. Like the Ancient Greek Aphrodite, Buttercup’s love is unrequited by a brother who prefers to indulge the art of war and chaos. The result is a hormone-fueled, tragicomic waking nightmare that must be seen to be believed.
Hippo arrives in select cinemas on November 12th.
