“Sell By is an impressive directorial debut from a veteran actor with a refreshingly bespoke point of view.”

ABOUT THE FILM
LONG SYNOPSIS
Does every relationship have an expiration date? Adam and Marklin are about to find out. Their 5-year relationship has gone from a passionate flame to a medium burn, forcing them to reconcile with each other’s shortcomings, all while watching their support network crumble around them.
Best friend Cammy’s latest beau checks all of her boxes—if you don’t count that he actually lives in a box; Haley’s student is more interested in studying her than studying for the SATs; and Elizabeth and Damon—the “stable” ones—are on the brink of divorce after 15 years of so-called bliss. But, in this mess, hope springs eternal as they all muddle their way through to try to make life work.
