To mark the release of his acclaimed new drama HIS THREE DAUGHTERS, we’re revisiting the films of Azazel Jacobs, who has been quietly crafting some of the funniest, tenderest, and most winningly offbeat works in the last two decades of American independent cinema. Poignant stories of outsiders and misfits navigating life’s challenges—an adult son hiding out in his parents’ home in the lo-fi family portrait MOMMA’S MAN, an overweight teen finding himself in the refreshingly authentic coming-of-age tale TERRI, a mutually unfaithful couple rekindling their spark in the comedy of remarriage THE LOVERS—his films capture some of the most painfully relatable parts of the human experience with wry humor and generous empathy.
