About
- SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY is the first feature film from writer/director Drew Tobia.
Mona (Eleanore Pienta) is a mentally unbalanced and very pregnant young woman in a hideous orange coat. Without any friends to speak of and alienated from her hoochie mama coworkers at a crummy Brooklyn supermarket, Mona maintains a strangely close relationship with her campy, recovering alcoholic mother May (Dana Eskelson). Mona's sister Jordan (Molly Plunk) is an unemployable party girl, estranged from May and making life hell for her increasingly fed up girlfriend Sylve (Keisha Zollar). In the final days of her pregnancy, Mona draws her mother, sister, and anybody who happens to get caught in her wake into her hectic life as she drifts further from reality.
Featuring a tapestry of diverse characters with varying levels of sanity and awful taste in wardrobe, "See You Next Tuesday" is a dark comedy the whole family can enjoy cutting themselves to.

Cast + Crew

Drew Tobia’s films are cult favorites at underground film festivals, on the Internet, and on national and European television. His film Leperf*** won the AUFF The Wall Award at the Atlanta Underground Film Festival in 2009, declaring it the most deranged film of that year. His films have played on MTV’s Logo Network and the German television program Queerblick. His work has been called “impressively revolting” (Heidi Williams, The Oregonian), “like cinematic foie gras” (Shaula Clark, The Phoenix), and “so completely over-the-top —in a very minimalist way” (Mike Everleth, Bad Lit). Drew holds a BA in Film from Emerson College.
Producer
Rachel Wolther is a New York based producer and writer. In 2009, she wrote and produced her first feature film Schizcago with director Ben Kolak. Her experimental films, shot on toy cameras and hand-developed 16mm film, have screened in vacant lots and movie palaces, appearing in favorite festivals Bearded Child and Darryl’s Hard Liquor and Porn. Rachel is a graduate of the Northwestern University.
Editor
Sofi Marshall is a film and television editor based in the New York City area. Her work spans both narrative and documentary feature films, short films, music videos and commercials. Recently Sofi edited A Teacher, a feature film by writer/director Hannah Fidell. The film has won top honors in the US in Progress program at the Champs-Elysees Film Festival. Other recent projects include: Tall as the Baobab Tree, The Perfect Wedding, Julien and Claire, and We're Glad You're Here.
Composer
Last year, Brian McOmber scored his first feature film titled A Teacher (dir. Hannah Fidell), which will be premiering at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Other recent works include Man & Gun(premiered SXSW 2012) a short film he wrote, directed and scored, as well as The Gathering Squall (premiered SXSW 2012) a short film based on the Joyce Carol Oates short story of the same name. Although most recognized as the drummer for the band Dirty Projectors (2006-2012), Brian has performed and/or recorded with many other artists including Björk, David Byrne, Yeasayer, Mira Calix, St. Vincent, Hubble, Marijuana Death Squads, Pat Jordache, Casper Electronics, and Deer Tick.
Cinematographer
Andrew J. Whittaker is a versatile cinematographer working in a variety of mediums and genres. He has lensed five features, including the 2007 documentary Coming Home, shot on location in rural South Korea. The narrative feature Dark Woods was recently picked up for distribution by Vanguard Cinema, while two other features, Insomnium and New Republic, are currently in post-production.

It’s so nice when the final film you see at a film festival is a good one. After eight straight days of mostly mediocrities, I ended tonight with Drew Tobia’s SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY (can you translate the title into its vulgar expletive?). I was led to believe this was some kind of John Waters-influenced sleaze fest, and went in with low expectations. And, yes, there is plenty of the abject on view. But beyond the bodily fluids and ocean of profanity, the film approaches Cassavettes in raw emotional honesty.
A nice writeup from Joel Shephard, Film/Video Curator at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, who saw our movie at the Jeonju Int’l Film Festival.We had an amazing time at the Jeonju Int’l Film Festival in South Korea! All of our shows sold out and SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY was one of the most popular films at the fest.
We were impressed with how young and invested the audiences were, and we got great questions at the two Q&As. Shout out to our amazing translator Roc for her expert interpreting of our stupid jokes. She is the best!
You can catch clips of Drew (or Mr. Tobia as everyone kept calling him, much to our amusement) hamming it up here: http://youtu.be/RhtVw7lbtrI?t=5m21s
and here:
These characters fit right in at an underground film festival, though the film depicts an underground more closely aligned with Dostoevsky than punk rock. Last night’s crowd seemed to admire Tuesday’s sympathetic trip to the lower depths (the film won the festival’s Audience Award later that evening). I hope the film gets to play to more mainstream audiences, who might benefit from its perspective.

- Screening in JeonJu South Korea!
We’ll be making our international premiere at the JeonJu International Film Festival in JeonJu, South Korea! Director Drew Tobia and producer Rachel Wolther will both be attending.
April 25 - May 3rdJeonJu, South Korea A comedy of splintered sanity from Drew Tobia, it boasts one of the better title sequences I’ve seen in a long time: The opening credits scroll across the screen underneath the image of a young grocery store cashier staring off into the distance, slack-jawed. That would be Mona (Eleanore Pienta), a likable if unstable woman who never seems to brush her hair or realize just how cut off from reality she is. Pregnant with her first child, she craves support from her spiky comrade-in-arms mother and party-girl sister.
