About the film:

Starring Rachel Sennott, “I Used to Be Funny” is a dark dramedy about Sam, an au pair struggling with PTSD while dreaming of a career in stand-up comedy. When a teenager she used to nanny goes missing, Sam must decide whether to join in the search. Writer/director Ally Pankiw’s debut feature is a refreshing look at trauma and recovery, and how their effects ripple through the relationships and communities that shape us.
