Sean Giambrone has expressed appreciation for his co-stars Gaten Matarazzo and Lulu Wilson in their collaboration on a new buddy comedy titled 'Pizza Movie,' according to entertainment reporter JD Knapp.
The film, described as a stoner movie produced by BriTANicK, has transitioned from its debut at South by Southwest (SXSW) to streaming availability on Hulu. Giambrone, known for his role in the ABC sitcom 'The Goldbergs,' described the project as providing him with a college experience.
Cast and Production Details
The comedy features Giambrone alongside Gaten Matarazzo, who gained recognition for his role as Dustin Henderson in Netflix's 'Stranger Things,' and Lulu Wilson, known for her work in horror films including 'Ouija: Origin of Evil' and 'Annabelle: Creation.'
BriTANicK, the comedy duo consisting of Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher, produced the project. The pair has previously created content for various platforms and has worked on television projects including 'Saturday Night Live.'
Festival to Streaming Platform
The film's journey from SXSW to Hulu represents a common distribution path for independent comedies that premiere at major film festivals. SXSW, held annually in Austin, Texas, serves as a launching platform for emerging filmmakers and has historically been a venue where streaming services identify content for acquisition.
Hulu's acquisition of the title continues the platform's strategy of adding comedy content to compete with other streaming services in the crowded digital entertainment market.
