Call it a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day: \u201cI upended the lives of the people I love most, my family. Also, it\u2019s my birthday,\u201d the titular character mopes in the newly released Bunny trailer. Mo Stark, who co-wrote the film with Stefan Marolachakis and director Ben Jacobson, stars as the unlucky birthday boy plagued by a series of unfortunate events. Bunny rushes from one crisis to another in this New York comedy, premiering in select theaters and on VOD November 14.<\/p>\n
\u201cBunny is a streetwise hustler working a quick job when everything goes sideways fast. Thrown into a fight for his life, he turns to his best friend Dino for help,\u201d reads a synopsis for the film. \u201cWhat follows is one wild, sweltering summer day and night in their East Village tenement, as the two scheme with a crew of eccentric neighbors to cover up a dead body. With the NYPD circling, chaos reigns as the clock ticks and the heat rises. Bunny\u2019s only goal is simple: survive the night without getting caught or killed.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Harbor Picture Company<\/a>, Jacobson was still working as a bartender just two months before principal shooting began on the film, which went on to premiere at the 2025 South by Southwest festival<\/a>. The cast includes friends and neighbors who live in the tenement building in the movie, including the landlord. It was even shot partially in Stark and his wife\u2019s (Liza Colby, who also stars) apartment. \u201cNever in my life have I gone to work and done something like this. I think [Steven] Soderbergh said that the worst thing about making movies is not making a movie. And I couldn\u2019t agree more,\u201d said Jacobson, who cites Nick Gomez\u2019s Laws Of Gravity and Woody Allen\u2019s Husbands And Wives as inspiration. \u201cMan, I love movies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
