“Life Upside Down” is a romantic comedy about time, distance, and the human condition.
Three couples, connected by friendship, love and work, are each stuck in their respective homes in Los Angeles during the beginning of lockdown. Finally forced to face their spouses, friends, lovers, and eventually themselves head on, their lives turn slowly but surely upside-down.
“Life Upside Down” was created and filmed at the very beginning of the Los Angeles lockdown. Written and directed entirely remotely, except for the opening and closing scenes, by Cecilia Miniucchi, shot entirely on iPads and iPhones, communicating through a computer or dual computers, and often shooting on multiple locations simultaneously. The focus is not on the pandemic, but rather the story is about human relationships.
The film stars Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Nobody), Radha Mitchell (Run Hide Fight, Melinda-Melinda), and Danny Huston (Aviator, Wonder Woman, Stan and Ollie).
