 IFC Films announced today that they are acquiring North American rights to Gia Coppola’s sophomore feature MAINSTREAM, starring Academy Award® nominee and Tony Award® winner Andrew Garfield (HACKSAW RIDGE, UNDER THE SILVER LAKE), Maya Hawke (ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, STRANGER THINGS), Nat Wolff (PALO ALTO, FAULT IN OUR STARS), Johnny Knoxville (JACKASS, BAD GRANDPA), Jason Schwartzman (RUSHMORE, DARJEELING LIMITED, and Alexa Demie (EUPHORIA, WAVES). 

The film was co-written by Coppola and Tom Stuart and marks Coppola’s follow-up to her breakout feature PALO ALTO (2013). MAINSTREAM is produced by Fred Berger of Automatik, Lauren Bratman, Gia Coppola of American Zoetrope, Andrew Garfield, Jack Heller and Scott Veltri of Assemble Media, Siena Oberman of Artemis, Francisco Rebelo De Andrade, Enrico Saravia, Alan Terpins of Tugawood, and Zac Weinstein of Dynasty. 

The film had its World Premiere at the Venice Film Festival 2020 and was also selected for the Telluride Film Festival 2020. IFC Films will release the film on May 7, 2021 in select theaters and on demand.

In MAINSTREAM, a young woman (Maya Hawke) thinks she’s found a path to internet stardom when she starts making YouTube videos with a charismatic stranger (Andrew Garfield) – until the dark side of viral celebrity threatens to ruin them both.

Arianna Bocco, President of IFC Films said, “Gia Coppola’s MAINSTREAM is a bold and innovative film that captures the excitement and discord of the current social media environs with an entertaining wit. We are thrilled to partner with Gia and her great producing team to bring these viral worthy performances to theaters and digital this summer.”

Director Gia Coppola added, "I’m very excited to partner with the IFC team. Not only have they worked with filmmakers and projects I deeply admire, but I really love and appreciate their innovative ideas on the film’s release. I’m so proud of everyone involved in the making of this movie, and I especially can’t wait for people to see Andrew’s radical performance!”

Explaining the Ending of MULHOLLAND DRIVE

By
David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive remains one of the most haunting and enigmatic films ever made. It operates like a riddle that refuses to be solved, luring the viewer into a world where time, memory, and identity dissolve into one another. What begins as a mysterious, almost whimsical Hollywood fairy tale gradually transforms into a psychological nightmare. By the end, it’s clear that what we’ve been watching is not a mystery to be unraveled but an emotional landscape, the mind of a woman caught between fantasy and despair.

Betty, a bright and optimistic aspiring actress freshly arrived in Los Angeles, takes her in. Together, they embark on an investigation into Rita’s identity, which unfolds like a noir detective story bathed in dreamlike light. Everything about this world feels heightened: Betty’s charm, the coincidence of events, and the ease with w...

Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), a remorseless hitman, is sent to retrieve the money. Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a weary and introspective lawman, tries to make sense of the violence unfolding around him. At first glance, the film appears to set up a c...
