Funny Move for “Funny Pages”: Owen Kline’s Coming of Age Film Gets Dumped Onto Streaming for One Night Only

Share

Well, A24 doesn’t seem to know what to do with Owen Kline’s “Funny Pages.”

So they’re screening it themselves on August 25th for 15 bucks.

Kline is the son of Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates. This is his directorial debut. It looks like a charming coming of age film.

Show it in theaters? Film festivals? Apparently, “Funny Pages” starts a week long run the next day at Lincoln Center, all day. This is what A24 calls “releasing a film.” No marketing or publicity, no press release. Just, here it is! They’re disruptors!
