Toss It, a new film by NYWIFT member Michele Remsen, is now available to stream on Amazon Video, iTunes, Google-Play, and Vimeo!
Plot Summary
Emily and Finn think they know everything, until everything gets turned upside down. Questioning why men are so screwed up and if women are to blame, this trope-tossing, genre-dismantling film is packed with a stable of complicated characters and their intertwining relationships. A darkly comic, bittersweet look behind the facades of tradition, family and marriage, Toss It blends screwball comedy with an open-hearted deep-dive into family dysfunction.
