Workhouse will be responsible for festival marketing & branding communications and promotion initiatives across all channels. The assignment is effective immediately.

Agonizing over the demise of a relationship is a universal pastime. But who bothers to revisit old flames to ask what went awry? Over the course of one long, hot summer, filmmaker Jyllian Gunther shows up on the doorsteps of her most significant Ex's to find out what went wrong, and uncover the truth behind infamous break-up statements such as "It's not you, it's me." From New York to San Francisco to Paris, Pull Out pulls out all the stops, as Gunther travels a bumpy road to self-discovery and submits herself for frank analysis by six men, including her father, who speak with alarming candor about her libido and its discontents. What happens along the way includes a rekindled romance, tattooing, rejection, a stakeout, tarantulas, sex, accusations, indifference, and nostalgia that climaxes with the realization that the past is subjective and memory is selective. Pull Out is a document for a Generation of 'X's', still trying to get it right. And Gunther ultimately concludes that her new mission is to move on, not to let go of the past, but to put it aside, to make room for new, future ex-boyfriends.
