Splitsville is the absurdist indie sex comedy made for a fraction of that behemoth’s budget.

The film stars Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin .

The pair's previous collaboration, The Climb , premiered in the Un Certain Regard section and won a special jury prize.

The movie is set to release in August in the US .

Splitsville was shot on film, an expense that forced the director to cut six days of shooting.

The film is inspired by old masters of Italian comedies like Ettore Scola , Covino says.

Covino maps out the shots he needs well in advance, so there was not much room for improvisation.
