Following its recent festival run, Gravitas Ventures is set to release Will Dennis’ road trip dramedy VANILLA on April 28, 2020.

Dennis’ debut feature film also stars Kelsea Bauman-Murphy, Aparna Nancherla (Netflix’s “Master of None”, HBO’s “Crashing”) and Johnny Sibilly (FX’s “Pose”).
Official Synopsis:
A freewheeling comedian, determined to save her family business, invites an uptight entrepreneur on a road trip to sell a van with a complicated history. Calling it a first date, they establish road rules that include a dance collaboration, separate sleeping quarters, and French pastries. Romance ignites on their three-day trip. As they discover each other’s quirks and secrets, they must decide if their new connection is worth more than the van.
