  • Filmmakers Jay and Mark Duplass have made a big name for themselves with the endearing hyperrealism of their mumblecore films. The brothers have now delved into the world of TV with their series Togetherness, which follows the tribulations of thirtysomethings trying to make sense of their adult lives.
    Togetherness stars Amanda Peet, Melanie Lynskey, and Steve Zissis. The series premiered on HBO this January and has already been renewed for a second season. We sat down with the Duplass brothers to talk about the series and its parallels with their lives.

    That was so beautiful hearing what these guys have done, their relationship and their work ethic, creative ideas. Also their start in the industry. It was really fun to learn more. Great interviewer, I only wish it could've gone on longer.

    Love these guys! They’re brilliant! Togetherness is an awesome series, I just wish they made more than 2 seasons. I’m into Room 104 right now and find it so unique and clever and cerebral.

    Jay and Mark Duplass have made names for themselves with the endearing hyperrealism of their mumblecore films. Now, the brothers are writing a new TV series, which follows the tribulations of 30-somethings trying to make sense of their adult lives.

      What an original idea for a tv show(sarcasm). I think there may have been a show called "30 Something" but I think it was about something else.

      Watching the reality shows on TH-cam seem more hyper"real" than any fake drama Hollywood can create. These type of comedies seem mundane and forced.

      +ted rohe and EH CBunny, Shut up and make new awesome shit exist. That's how humanity best critiques what's come before.

      +Jordan Weimer Does it? Thats the difference with something that is really good, it stands on its own, it does not require a reference of what came before, so cliché people can say ' this is so innovative'.

    I'm sooooo far removed for this kind of Hollywood, LA, screen acting interview talk about experience, motivation and first world problems.
    Mumblecore eh? I'll try and crowbar that into a natural sentence next week at work.

      +Rob The Fandom Menace Its true, very much first world problems indie shows..all dealing with the same ass bullshit 'problems'. Like Girls, Togetherness, Transparency..etc
      It's not bad, but just ...cliché in many ways and annoying to see this very privileged people be the center point of again a tv show with the same type of music etc etc. Transparency and girls are much worse , with such privileged cunty kids. Yughhhh
      I think it would be much better if it would delve into some deeper shit... Sopranos for me is one of the more realistic shows,many think its a maffia show, but its so much more about humans, what is inside them, wat moves people, from a very original perspective.( The cunty privileged kids are also present in sopranos, children of tony, but shown for what they are or can be and it doenst revolve around them) still nothing is made that is better or more authentic and real.

    There are some nice 'realistic' moments in mumblecore movies (and now tv show).
    But after you watch one of them, you see their limitations (non-actors), and
    why you'd rather have 'real' actors , who have range, depth, characterization,etc.
    With this kind of filmmaking, it kind brings the standards down for actors.
    It's just looking for 'types', and types that can only do that one kind of type,that one personality.

    These boys talk as if they are the Safdie brothers. Mumblecore? Really? These guys are hacks. They need to stop talking as if they think they're the second coming of Cassavettes. BOO!
