Have you seen stories about 'Chucky,' 'Scream,' 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' 'The Boys,' 'Vanderpump Rules,' or any of 'The Real Housewives' franchises? That's probably a Britta DeVore-curated piece of art, and it sounds like you have great taste.
When she isn't sitting behind her laptop bringing readers her hot takes on upcoming projects or keeping the dream alive in the Senior News team, Britta can usually be found outside hiking or inside behind her drum set. She currently plays in two bands, Kid Midnight and Watergate, both based in Brooklyn. An obsessive traveler, Britta loves long road trips to the South West and has a soft spot in her heart for canyons, rivers, and forests.
She also has a tiny cat named Athena that she loves more than anything else in the world and is always happy for new brewery recs.
After years of the mainstream well being completely, incredibly, and painfully dry, the last decade or so has seen a burst in female-led shows made for and by women. From Broad City to Fleabag, ladies have been leaving their stamp on the industry with insightful, realistic, and oftentimes comedic takes on what it means to be a woman in this day and age. Today, ahead of its pilot premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 27, we at Collider are thrilled to exclusively unveil the debut trailer for the latest entry into this genre, Soft Boil. Helmed by Alec Goldberg and from a script co-penned alongside Camille Wormser, who also stars, the storyline follows a young woman as she tries to keep her head above water after she takes a job as a nanny and discovers her new career path isn’t quite as easy as it seemed from the outside looking in.
In our first look at the trailer for Soft Boil, we meet Lulu (Wormser), who we see seeking the help of a medical professional. The character’s personality is immediately defined as she dodges lengthy questions tossed her way by the doctor, hoping to instead just get her answers and get on her way. The rest of the teaser sees her bombing dates, doing her best Gollum impression, and having a staredown with the shower.
In addition to Wormser in the leading role, Soft Boil also features the talents of a lineup that includes Vivian Kerr (SCRAP), Madison Shamoun (The Lake), John Gemberling (Broad City) and Patrick Tabari (Iconic), Sander Thomas (Splitting Up Together), Kayla Anjali (The Pitt), Jennifer Mika (Dreamcrusher) and Chris Grace (Superstore). In addition to co-penning the project, both Goldberg and Wormser serve as the title’s executive producers, with Kerr, Hannah Connery, Don Ohmer, Clayton Susick, Hunter Milano, and Drue Robertson producing.
What Else Is Coming to Sundance This Year?
With the welcoming of January and the new year comes the arrival of the annual Sundance Film Festival. This year will be a bittersweet one for the event as it celebrates its final year in Park City, Utah, before permanently relocating to Boulder, Colorado, beginning in 2027.

In addition to the premiere of Soft Boil’s pilot, guests will also have the chance to see the Courtney Love-centered film, Antiheroine, Riz Ahmed’s latest series, BAIT, and Gregg Araki’s erotic thriller, I Want Your Sex, which stars Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman.
