"A behind-the-scenes relationship film with refreshingly little interest in mythologizing or caricaturing the film biz its protagonists inhabit…earns a steady stream of laughs while taking its questions about grown-up romance seriously." - The Hollywood Reporter

Best friends Nick (Alex Karpovsky, "Girls") and Darryl (co-writer Tarik Lowe) are a New York film editing duo hired to salvage a botched comedy from a manic director (Kevin Corrigan, Pineapple Express) gone AWOL. What starts as a simple job quickly sends their relationships—with their significant others and each other—reeling. Amidst trouble with his fiancée Nick finds himself falling for the film's flirtatious ingénue. Darryl, meanwhile, struggles to focus on his editing work in between fights with his tempestuous girlfriend. With real humor and heart, Supporting Characters offers a sharp, knowing take on life and love in the big city.
