On June 21, Rooftop Films screened No Hard Feelings (2023) at the Lower East Side’s New Design High School. The feature starred Jennifer Lawrence as Maddie. Andrew Barth Feldman played Percy. Gene Stupnitsky directed the sex comedy.
In the film, a down-on-her-luck woman named Maddie lost her childhood home. She answered an advertisement to “date” a wealthy, awkward nineteen-year-old boy named Percy. His parents posted the listing on Craiglist. They hoped to get their son out of his shell before college. Due to the boy’s anxiety, his dates with Maddie didn’t go as planned.
After the special presentation, Ronald Gladden spoke with Feldman. To learn more about the film’s production and Feldman’s character, read the interview transcript below.
