Check out the official trailer for the new dramedy "Suncoast," which will be making its world premiere next week at the Sundance Film Festival.

Starring Nico Parker (HBO's The Last of Us), Laura Linney (Netflix's Ozark), and Woody Harrelson (War for the Planet of the Apes), the film is a semi-autobiographical story by writer Laura Chinn, who makes her feature directorial debut.

In the film, Nico Parker plays a socially awkward teenager who is wrestling with various challenges at home. This includes a tense relationship with her mother, played by Laura Linney, and the plight of her seriously ill brother, who is confined to a hospital. While facing the usual challenges that come with being a teenager, she finds herself dealing with these issues alone -- until an unexpected connection forms. She strikes up an unlikely friendship with an eccentric activist, played here by Woody Harrelson.

The film draws inspiration from the life experiences of writer-director Laura Chinn, known for her work as a television comedy writer on shows like "The Mick," "Grandfathered," "Florida Girls," and "Childrens Hospital."

"Suncoast" is set to premiere at Sundance this month and will exclusively arrive on Hulu on February 9th.
