Michael Angelo Covino’s sophomore feature directing effort, Splitsville, was unveiled this evening as part of the Cannes Film Festival Premiere section. It was greeted with a eight-minute reception.
The comedy, co-written by Covino and Kyle Martin, follows Ashley (Adria Arjona) who, after asking for a divorce, spurs the good-natured Carey (Kyle Marvin) to run to his friends, Julie (Dakota Johnson) and Paul (Covino), for support. Their secret to happiness is an open marriage; that is, until Carey crosses the line and throws all of their relationships into chaos. The movie also stars Nicholas Braun, O-T Fagbenle, David Castañeda and Charlie Gillespie.
