From director Whit Stillman, DAMSELS IN DISTRESS follows a trio of beautiful girls who set out to revolutionize life at a grungy East Coast College – the dynamic leader Violet Wister (Greta Gerwig), principled Rose (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and sexy Heather (Carrie MacLemore). They welcome transfer student Lily (Tipton) into their group which seeks to help severely depressed students with a program of good hygiene and musical dance numbers. The girls become romantically entangled with a series of men — including slick Charlie (Brody), dreamboat Xavier (Hugo Becker) and the mad frat pack of Frank (Ryan Metcalf) and Thor (Billy Magnussen) – who threaten the girls – friendship and sanity.

Stillman’s previous credits include METROPOLITAN, which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay, as well as Castle Rock’s THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO and BARCELONA. Martin Shafer and Liz Glotzer produced alongside Stillman, who also wrote the screenplay.
