IFC Films has dropped the first trailer for The Baltimorons, a quirky indie comedy from director Jay Duplass. The movie is set to come out on September 5, 2025. It stars Michael Strassner, Liz Larsen, Olivia Luccardi, Rob Phoenix, and more. Known for his honest and offbeat style, Duplass once again explores human vulnerability in a story that’s funny, awkward, and surprisingly uplifting.
The story all takes place on one Christmas Eve and follows Cliff (played by Strassner), an improv comedian who just got sober. His night takes a strange turn after he chips a tooth and ends up in a dental chair with Didi (Liz Larsen), a no-nonsense dentist who keeps her emotions guarded. What starts as a simple dental visit quickly becomes a night filled with mishaps, self-discovery, and unexpected connection, as they both deal with being distant from their families.
Jay Duplass and Michael Strassner co-wrote The Baltimorons, which mixes humor rooted in characters’ quirks with genuine emotional moments. The trailer teases Duplass' style of natural dialogue and bittersweet tones. It shows two outsiders forging a bond that becomes the core of the story. With a small cast, the film touches on themes like forgiveness, failure, and finding new ways to connect in the most unlikely places.
Backed by IFC Films, The Baltimorons is looking like a strong addition to the fall indie film lineup. Fans of the Duplass Brothers’ past work will likely enjoy it. Early buzz suggests it could be a festival favorite. It promises to stand out as a holiday comedy that finds joy in life’s messiness.
