In OH HI!, Iris (Molly Gordon) and Isaac’s (Logan Lerman) first romantic weekend getaway as a couple goes awry. Convinced that he’s just confused, Iris goes to extreme lengths to prove to him that they are meant to be together.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that we have found our home with Sony Pictures Classics. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved their films; always marked by distinct voices and elegance,” said Brooks. “I can’t wait for audiences to see our kooky film in theaters.”
“That unpredictable, dark romantic comedy – youthful and hilarious yet with just the right about of danger. The performances are fantastic and beautifully directed by Sophie Brooks. OH HI! Is a definite audience winner,” added Sony Pictures Classics.
Sophie Brooks is a London born, Brooklyn based writer and director. Her sophomore feature OH, HI! premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.
