Come on up to The Castle Cinema for a very special collaboration with Deeper Into Movies - Yeast followed by a Q&A with Director Mary Bronstein.

Greta Gerwig stars in the blackly comic debut feature of filmmaker-actress Mary Bronstein is a raw portrait of toxic female friendships at their breaking point, and remains among the most confrontational American independent films of the 2000s. Shot on MiniDV and produced during the wave of micro-budget, character-driven films of the era - often referred to as 'mumblecore' - the Brooklyn-set follows a passive-aggressive schoolteacher (Bronstein) whose patience is tested when dealing with her anguished unemployed roommate (Amy Judd) while preparing to go on a camping trip with their eccentric, impulsive friend Jen (Greta Gerwig).

Shot by cinematographer Sean Price Williams with camera assistance (and cameos) from Josh and Benny Safdie.

'The definitive micro-masterpiece of the SXSW/Slamdance years. It does away with the sentimentalities of its mumblecore brethren: this one’s straight up mean Mike Leigh. One of the most vicious send-ups of combustive female friendships, arrested development, and passive aggression ever committed to screen. It’s only gotten more incisive with age' - Jon Dieringer, Screen Slate

A truly rare chance to see Yeast on the big screen, stay around post-film for a Q&A with Director Mary Bronstein.
