Ella Hunt & Moses Ingram Round Out Cast Of Mike Birbiglia’s Focus Comedy ‘Old Friends New Friends’

EXCLUSIVE: Ella Hunt (Not Suitable for Work) and Moses Ingram (A House of Dynamite) have joined Old Friends New Friends, rounding out the cast of the Focus Features comedy in undisclosed roles.

Written and directed by Mike Birbiglia, who is also part of the cast, Old Friends New Friends follows a tight-knit group of college friends that travels to a summer camp for their old friend’s wedding, only to discover that he’s built a new life — with new friends — forcing them to confront what they’ve lost, who they’ve become, and whether growing up means growing apart.

This is Birbiglia’s first film in a decade, on the heels of the ensemble improv troupe comedy Don’t Think Twice and his IFC Sundance prize-winner Sleepwalk with Me. Previously announced cast includes François Arnaud, Lucas Hedges, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Geraldine Viswanathan, Dylan Gelula, and Kathryn Newton.

Birbiglia is producing alongside Jacob Jaffke and Joe Hartwick for Oddball Entertainment. We scooped the project in August.

Best known for a role opposite Hailee Steinfeld in Apple TV’s Dickinson, Hunt has most recently been seen starring in Not Suitable for Work, the Hulu comedy from Mindy Kaling. Her film credits include Saturday Night, Horizon: An American Saga, and Mariama Diallo’s Master. She is repped by UTA, United Agents, and Schreck Rose Dapello.

Ingram has most recently been seen in Kathryn Bigelow’s Netflix film A House of Dynamite and Rachel Sennott’s HBO Max series I Love LA. Breaking out in Netflix’s limited series, The Queen’s Gambit, for which she received her first Emmy nomination, she is repped by Linden Entertainment and UTA.
