Chicago Comedy Film Festival to Feature Trilby Glover's Directorial Debut

CHICAGO, September 24, 2014 - The humorous short film AWKWARD EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE, starring Jayma Mays ("Glee," "Heros"), Ian Brennan (co-creator/writer for "Glee"), and Trilby Glover ("The Starter Wife," Righteous Kill), is an official selection at the 4th annual Chicago Comedy Film Festival. The Festival runs Oct 16-19, 2014 at the Showplace ICON Theater (150 W. Roosevelt Road, Chicago). AWKWARD EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE screens at the Chicago Comedy Film Festival on Sat, Oct 18 at 2:00PM with "Shorts Program 1".

Marking Glover's directorial debut, AWKWARD EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE is based on surprisingly real events, like people making telephone calls. It's an amusing tale of a lovelorn young gift shop owner, her much more level-headed best friend and the personal trainer at the center of the storm.
