Oscilloscope Laboratories released the trailer for Saint Frances, winner of the SXSW 2019 Audience Award – Best Narrative Feature. The film which also won the SXSW 2019 Special Jury Recognition for Breakthrough Voice is directed by Alex Thompson and stars Kelly O’Sullivan, Ramona Edith Williams, Jim True-Frost, Francis Guinan, Lily Mojekwu, Mary Beth Fisher, along with Charin Alvarez.

Oscilloscope Laboratories will open Saint Frances in New York’s Angelika Film Center on February 28th with Los Angeles and additional markets to follow.

Flailing thirty-four-year-old Bridget (Kelly O’Sullivan) finally catches a break when she meets a nice guy and lands a much-needed job nannying six-year-old Frances (played by a scene-stealing Ramona Edith-Williams). But an unwanted pregnancy introduces an unexpected complication. To make matters worse, she clashes with the obstinate Frances and struggles to navigate a growing tension between Frances’ moms. Amidst her tempestuous personal relationships, a reluctant friendship with Frances emerges, and Bridget contends with the inevitable joys and shit-shows of becoming a part of someone else’s family.
