Linda Cardellini manipulates the press as she forces her way into the national spotlight in the trailer for the kidnapping comedy "Austin Found."

The former "Freaks and Geeks" actress plays a fame-hungry mother who claims her 11-year-old daughter (played by Urusula Parker, from FX's "Louie") has been kidnapped from her home. In front of a crowd of reporters, she makes an emotional plea for her daughter's safe return. But what the public doesn't know is she is completely misleading the press. In a ridiculously insane bid to obtain fame, she has conspired with her gullible ex-boyfriend (Skeet Ulrich) and his simple-minded ex-con partner (Craig Robinson) to stage the phony abduction of her daughter. The scheme begins to fall apart when a suspicious reporter (Kristen Schaal) seeks to expose the truth.

Jon Daly, Patrick Warburton, Jaime Pressly, Chris Parnell, and Matt Jones co-star.

Directed by Will Raee and written by Brenna Graziano from a story by Will Raee, "Austin Found" will be released on July 7th.

synopsis:
Leanne Miller (Linda Cardellini) is a 36-year-old wife and mother whose hunger for fame and fortune leads her down a dangerous path. A former beauty queen and prom queen, Leanne is fed up with her unglamorously average lifestyle when she decides to take matters into her own hands by plotting a scheme to make her family instant celebrities. Teaming up with her ex-boyfriend, Billy (Skeet Ulrich), and his ex-con buddy, Jebidiah (Craig Robinson), Leanne conspires to have her 11-year-old daughter, Patty (Urusula Parker), kidnapped for just for a month or two. All Leanne has to do is keep the local press (Kristen Schaal) and Sherriff (Patrick Warburton) focused on the case at hand and off hers. What could go wrong?
