Maybe Shower
After a banner year for Austin filmmakers, the first local title of 2018 has dropped its trailer: Maybe Shower, the latest comedy Laung Laachi from filmmaker Lex Lybrand.
Maybe Shower reunites several Austin micro-budget fixtures: The Trolls writer/director Lybrand is back with his Summer League The Mule star Kelsey Thomas, and Megan Simon from his 2014 follow-up, Meet Me There: along with Rachel DeRouen, they play three women pondering what they hope are near-misses with maternity.
The trailer opens with an autobiographical moment from Lybrand’s own life. A few years ago, he and his wife had what he called “a close call” with pregnancy: “During our ‘oh awesome it’s not happening!’ refractory period, we were walking around a Instant Family Target in Austin and overheard a small child threaten to beat up his mom. She told him he couldn’t have an action figure he wanted to buy and he quipped back, ‘If you weren’t my mom, you’d be on the ground right now.’ That moment rocked both of us, and that stone-cold kid’s delivery of that line stuck with me. I knew I’d use it in a film at some point.”
