Starring Rachel Sennott (Shiva Baby, Bodies Bodies Bodies), I Used to Be Funny is a dark dramedy about Sam, an au pair struggling with PTSD while dreaming of a career in stand-up comedy. When a teenager she used to nanny goes missing, Sam must decide whether or not to join in the search.
Writer/director Ally Pankiw’s debut feature is a refreshing look at trauma and recovery, and how their effects ripple out to the relationships and communities that shape us.
