Coming to Olivia Pope & Associates this March: Lena Dunham.

This is the kind of thing that can quite easily become an insufferable mess. Quarter-life crisis stories, with angsty twenty-somethings trying to figure out just who they’re going to be now that all the externally imposed structure has suddenly vanished from their lives, can easily become self-indulgent exercises in solipsism. In the premise for her second feature, Tiny Furniture, writer/director Lena Dunham practically sets herself up for just such an exercise: the young director, a recent film school grad herself, casts herself as Aura, also a recent film school grad, just moved back into her old room in the Tribeca apartment where her artist mother and high school student sister live. The self-reference goes even deeper, though, since the actors who play Aura’s mother and sister are Dunham’s actual mother and sister, and the apartment that serves as the set for the film isn’t just a set: it’s their actual apartment.
