\n\tLauren Miller Rogen said \u201cEvery woman I know has been asked around 1 billion times if they\u2019re going to have children. For some, the answer is obvious. For me, it was a lot more complicated. Babies is the exploration of the funny, weird, and life-changing things that happened to me along the way to the answer.\u00a0 I feel so fortunate that Roadside and Vertical believe in the movie as much as I do and am thrilled to have them as partners in bringing it to theaters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a joint statement, Roadside Attractions Co-Presidents Howard Cohen & Eric d\u2019Arbeloff and Vertical Chairman Rich Goldberg & CEO and Partner Peter Jarowey said, \u201cLauren has made the kind of smart, perceptive comedy theatrical audiences rarely get anymore\u2014one that stands in the tradition of the great Hollywood films that dare to examine the way we live now. Babies taps into a conversation happening everywhere, finding humor in the pressures, expectations, and contradictions of modern adulthood. It\u2019s poignant, hilarious, deeply relatable, and brought to life by an extraordinary ensemble cast.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMonarch Media and AGC Studios co-financed and produced Babies <\/strong>with LYLAS Pictures. The film was produced by LYLAS Pictures\u2019 Lauren Miller Rogen and Jen W. Ray, Monarch\u2019s Steve Barnett and AGC\u2019s Stuart Ford, and executive produced by Monarch\u2019s Vicky Patel and Alan Powell, AGC\u2019s Miguel A. Palos, Jr. and Zach Garrett, and LYLAS\u2019 Sophie H\u00f8egh.
