An exclusive extended “nested narrative” clip from I Live Here Now has been released ahead of the film’s theatrical rollout. The new footage expands on a brief in-film moment, offering additional context and deepening the story’s internal mythology before audiences see the feature in theaters.
Directed by Julie Pacino in her feature debut, I Live Here Now stars Lucy Fry, Sheryl Lee, Matt Rife, and Cara Seymour. The film will be released by Utopia on March 5 in New York City and March 12 in Los Angeles.
The story follows Rose, a struggling actress whose life begins to fracture after unexpected news disrupts both her personal and professional trajectory. As a promising opportunity with agent Cindy Abrams comes into focus, tensions escalate when Rose’s boyfriend introduces his overbearing mother into their orbit. Seeking escape, Rose retreats to The Crown Inn, a deteriorating motel where memory, identity, and perception begin to blur.
Shot on 35mm with 16mm sequences woven throughout, the film uses texture and visual contrast to heighten its exploration of trauma and self-perception. The newly released clip offers audiences an early glimpse into the film’s layered storytelling approach ahead of its March theatrical debut in NYC and Los Angeles.
