★★★☆☆ Premièred at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival, Daniel Schechter's Supporting Characters (2012) has the fingerprints of pop culture all over its meta-indie shell. Starring Alex Karpovsky - better known to UK audiences for his role in Lena Dunham's Girls - Schechter's promising second feature is a deft and delicate comedy that never takes itself too seriously. This tender and nimbly comical deconstruction of independent filmmaking and the complexities of contemporary metropolitan relationships focuses on two young New York film editors, who are attempting to balance their hectic work schedules and personal lives.
Nick (Karpovsky) and Darryl (Tarik Lowe) are struggling to patch over the cracks within conceited director Adrian's (Kevin Corrigan) darkly comic romance about a dog-walker, with their intimate working relationship seeing them endeavour to save both this shambles of a film and their own frail lives. From jokes about cutting out minority figures from the film they're working...

Daniel Schechter’s Supporting Characters is one of six selections from the Tribeca Film Festival available via pay-per-view with Virgin Media, as well as select digital platforms including iTunes, PlayStation, and Xbox, and although it stars Alex Karpovksy alongside a cameoing Lena Dunham , that’s not all Supporting Characters shares with Girls. Just like the HBO/Sky Atlantic hit series, the film details the lives and loves of 20something New Yorkers and if you’re one of the viewers who can’t stand Hannah, Marnie and co, you’re unlikely to be especially fond of Supporting Characters’ leads. Self-absorbed protagonists aside, Supporting Characters also mimics Girls’ strongest assets – its humour and authenticity.
Nick (Karpovsky) and Daryl (Tarik Lowe) are best friends and film editors hired to try and save a patchy rom-com from the clutches of its manic, absentee director (Kevin Corrigan). But the seemingly simple job puts a strain...

Dramedies are the perfect film genre to convey realism. Life is both, at times funny and sad. The dramedy portrays this fact perfectly and Supporting Characters is a fine example of this genre. Films like this are heavy on both dialogue and sincere performances. It’s a story about relationships in New York City. The characters are neurotic and their lines flow naturally with ease and authenticity. Woody Allen would be proud.
Supporting Characters focuses on two film editor/best friends Nick (Alex Karpovsky) and Darryl (co-writer Tarik Lowe). Both of these men are struggling to edit a train wreck of a film as they each simultaneously attempt to salvage their love lives. The film’s real spotlight is on Nick as he begins falling for the film within the film’s beautiful star. Sexual tension and bittersweet life lessons abound.

Discerning filmgoers aghast at the prospect of paying good money to see new releases "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" or "Movie 43" have better option right at their fingertips: "Supporting Characters," Daniel Schechter's winning indie comedy about two 20-something film editors (played by "Girls" star Alex Karpovsky and Tarik Lowe) navigating life and love in New York.
With "Supporting Characters" out on VOD now, Schechter spoke to HuffPost Entertainment about the inspirations for his film, the pros and cons of the current indie film landscape, and what fans can expect from his adaptation of "The Switch," Elmore Leonard's novel about Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara, the characters Leonard later featured in "Rum Punch," which turned into the 1997 film "Jackie Brown."
On Twitter you wrote that the reviews of "Supporting Characters" have been "reluctantly positive." I like that.

What fascinates about “Supporting Characters,” the new relationship comedy premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, is that its greatest strength also registers as its most notable weakness. This decidedly Noo Yawk tale of an editing team in New York City and their satellite friends would be at home as an extended pilot on IFC, with these two best friend leads getting into all sorts of middle-aged male troubles. It’s good, and bad, just like TV. Darryl (co-writer Tarik Lowe) and Nick (Alex Karpovsky) are two movie editors trying to rescue yet another banal middlebrow indie picture from what looks, from a distance, like future distributor-less VOD hell. They share a considerable shorthand, one that makes them closer to each other than they are with their respective girlfriends. Nick withstands the chastisement of his 9-to-5 fiancee (Sophia Takal) and Darryl tries to navigate the chasm between himself and his sideways-glancing girlfriend (Melonie Diaz). Though.

For fans of Girls, Alex Karpovsky‘s confusion over text messages, emoticons, and just what the hell they mean when sent in the context of a romantic relationship was a source of great hilarity during the show’s second season premiere, as Karpovsky’s Ray demanded to know what a wrapped gift, a panda, and a gun meant when sent to him by a lady he has bedded. Yet, it turns out that was not quite the first time that The Karp (go with it) was confused by text messaging. In Daniel Schechter‘s Supporting Characters, Karpovsky plays one half of an editing team tasked with cleaning up a terrible film by a moronic director – but that’s the least of their worries, as both guys (Karpovsky’s co-star is played by co-writer Tarik Lowe, who is just smashing in the film) are also struggling with romantic issues. Karpovsky’s Nick is engaged, but...

A genuine meditation on male friendship, the absurdities of indie moviedom and many different kinds of loyalty, Daniel Schechter’s Supporting Characters, a surprise hit at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival, sneaks up on you, its seeming limitations becoming its strengths over the course of its easy-going 87 minutes. Despite being shot in a fashion that recalls a comedy you might find on FX, Supporting Characters maintains an old-fashioned, craftsman-like quality about it; it’s written with feeling and humor that rings with truth, offering us characters whose lives are as complicated and full of ambiguity as our own.

They say this movie will give us honest and smart look at relationships and friendship, so I say – let’s give them a try and share the second trailer for Daniel Schechter‘s upcoming comedy titled Supporting Characters. The movie had its world premiere this April at the Tribeca Film Festival, and has quite interesting cast on board, so we definitely recommend you check it out in the rest of this report!
Written by Daniel Schechter and Tarik Lowe, Supporting Characters centers on two New York film editors Nick and Darryl, who are trying to balance their personal lives while reworking a film.
Not hard to guess that the movie is actually based on Schechter’s and Lowe’s incidents from their personal lives, crafting a simultaneously offbeat and naturalistic New York story.

Back in April S & A's Vanessa Martinez gave a really strong positive review (Here) of Supporting Characters, a small indie film that made its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. The film, written by co-star Tarik Lowe along with co-writer and director Daniel Schechter, has been called a "masculine romantic comedy" and centers around two buddies (Lowe and co-star Alex Karpovsky) who work as film editors, who are brought in to salvage a stink bomb of a film, directed by a neurotic and desperate film director. While dealing with this headache, the two friends try to cope with their own messy personal and romantic lives. Lowe was quoted...

Written by Daniel Schetcher and Tarik Lowe
Directed by Daniel Schetcher
USA, 2012
Nick (Alex Karpovsky)and Darryl (Tarik Lowe) work as an editing team. They’ve been hired to polish a substandard romantic comedy. Over the course of the project, Nick meets Jaime (Arielle Kebbel), the star of the film, and the two plunge headfirst into a playful but not altogether harmless flirtation. This unexpected development complicates Nick’s commitment to his adorable fiancée Amy (Sophia Takal). Meanwhile, Darryl must contend with the extreme highs and lows of a fledgling romance with his highly emotional love interest, Liana (Melonie Diaz). And to compound all this, Nick and Darryl’s perfect partnership gets tested when Nick receives a job offer, but the budget on the new film isn’t big enough to accommodate an assistant editor.
Supporting Characters succeeds where a lot of industry films of this type fail by keeping it simple.

As films about film go, Daniel Schechter‘s Supporting Characters is relatively low-fi stuff. Concerning an editor named Nick (Alex Karpovsky), his assistant editor Darryl (Tarik Lowe) and the duo’s attempt to save a film as well as their personal relationships, the film, while a tad recycled, slowly grows into a comfortable, relatable piece.
Taking severely from Albert Brooks’ seminal rom-com Modern Romance, Schechter knows what works and what doesn’t. The majority of the film relies of Karpovsky’s natural knack for comedic timing, Lowe serving as a more-than-capable sidekick who longs to be much more than that.
We watch Nick navigate long-term girlfriend Amy (Sophia Takal) and the idea that a more attractive, more famous girl – the star of the film to be exact (played by Arielle Kebbel) - might be interested in him. Meanwhile, Darryl is too excited about a new relationship with a domineering girlfriend...

Daniel Schechter always wanted to make movies and believes his desire to communicate is best served by his skills as a filmmaker. He calls "Supporting Characters" a significant departure from his previous films ("The Big Bad Swim" and "Goodbye Baby") because of its semi-autobiographical nature. While writing the script with friend and star Tarik Lowe, what started as a standard rom-com became more alive when they "kept cherry-picking moments directly from our personal lives." Schechter got his "top personal choice for every single role," including: Alex Karpovsky (HBO's "Girls"), Arielle Kebbel ("90210"), Kevin Corrigan ("The Departed"), Sophia Takal ("Green"), Melonie Diaz ("Be Kind Rewind"), Lena Dunham ("Tiny Furniture") & Tarik Lowe ("Blue Bloods").

Tribeca: Tell us about Supporting Characters. How do you describe the film in your own words? Dan Schechter: The film is a comedy about two best friends who work together as film editors in New York City on a movie in crisis, but we also see both of their relationships with women falling apart at the same time. I guess comedy, by and large, doesn't come from having an awesome job and a perfect relationship, unfortunately. The film's based largely on the experiences and personalities of me and my co-writer Tarik Lowe, who plays one of the film's leads, and I'd say its semi-autobiographical.

James Franco’s behind-the-scenes General Hospital feature, Francophrenia, will have its North American premiere in the Viewpoints section – the program established last year that highlights more personal stories. “He’s kind of constructed this really interesting and well-crafted film about that experience that plays with the boundaries of documentary,” says Genna Terranova, Tribeca’s director of programming. “It’s a bit tongue in cheek, as James himself can be. He’s a bit enigmatic and the film is as well.

We’ve got the next film from The Exploding Girl director Bradley Rust Gray, Jack and Diane (as well as a first look about featuring Juno Temple, thanks to Styd).
There is a new Harmony Korine short as well Kate Bosworth‘s While We Were Here and The Girl, starring Abbie Cornish. James Franco also has his latest film, Francophrenia, featuring footage from his performance on General Hospital. Nothing sticks out too greatly yet, but if I see something as interesting as Beyond the Black Rainbow or Magic Valley like last year, I’ll be a happy man.

SXSW kicks off later this week, but once your done slurping the BBQ sauce off your fingers, pack your backs and head north to Manhattan as the Tribeca Film Festival is gearing up to unspool in April. To whet cinephile appetites, organizers have dropped the lineup for the World Narrative Feature Competition, World Documentary Feature Competition and Viewpoints lineups and there are plenty of titles to take note of.
Among the narratives, the anticipated "Jack And Diane" from Bradley Rust Gray will make its world premiere. Starring Juno Temple and Riley Keough, the film takes a teenage lesbian love tale and twists the formula, with one of them revealing she's a werewolf. Add to that a cast rounded out by Dane DeHaan, Jena Malone and pop star Kylie Minogue (as a tattooed lesbian, of course) and you can see why this will be one of the hottest tickets at the fest.
