Lake Bell (“Children’s Hospital,” NO STRINGS ATTACHED) stars as Carol, an aspiring voice talent who not only lives in the house of her egotistical father, Sam (Fred Melamed), but also in the massive shadow he casts as the undisputed king of the vicious, male-dominated world of movie-trailer voice-overs. After Sam kicks her out to make room for his girlfriend, Carol lands her first voice-over gig with the help of charming sound engineer Louis (Demetri Martin), beating out industry bad boy Gustav Warner (Ken Marino) for the job. As Carol finds greater success in her career and in love Gustav and her father work to undermine her. But, will Carol have the last word?

Known for her supporting work, with IN A WORLD . . . Bell arrives as a director, writer, and lead actress. This smart, funny film is part rom-com, part family comedy, and part industry send-up. The excellent ensemble cast includes comedy stalwarts Nick Offerman, Tig Notaro, and Rob Corddry.
