First THE LIFEGUARD Clip

Focus World has released the first clip from the indie drama, The Lifeguard. Kristen Bell stars as Leigh, a 29-year-old whose career and love life crises send her home to live with her parents. There, she regresses back into high school life, hanging with her old pals and reclaiming her job at a condo complex pool. The Liz W. Garcia written and directed flick also stars Mamie Gummer, Joshua Harto, Amy Madigan, Alex Shaffer and Martin Starr. The Lifeguard opened at Sundance this year, and you can now catch it on VOD and in theaters August 30th, 2013. Here’s the official synopsis for The Lifeguard:

Leigh (Kristen Bell) is almost 30, and living a seemingly perfect life in New York. But when her career and love life both come crashing down, she flees to her suburban hometown and regresses right back into teenage life and behavior. She moves into her old room with her parents, hangs around with friends who never left town, and reclaims her high school job as a condo-complex lifeguard. But as Leigh enjoys shirking adult life and responsibilities and enters into an illicit affair, she begins a chain reaction that affects those closest to her. With an all-star cast that also includes Martin Starr (“Party Down,” “Knocked Up”), Mamie Gummer (“Side Effects”) and Oscar nominee Amy Madigan, it’s a journey that’s both hilarious and heartfelt. Presented by Screen Media Films & Focus World, the alternative distribution of Focus Features.
