Official Synopsis: "Budding writer Sunny takes time off from college to tend to her ailing dad in suburban Florida, and after two years, a temp job at a bowling alley has turned into a comfortable rut. But, when Sunny's high school rival Isaac returns, her routine is abruptly disrupted. Friendly fire replaces competitive spirit as the pair picks up where they left off, and Sunny realizes the future holds more than a well-stocked shoe counter."

Reviews:
"An encouraging feature debut."
"Richly endowed with true-to-life moments, a generosity of spirit and an unsentimental perspective on the quarter-life crisis."
Karina Longworth, Village Voice:
"A slow-building stunner of a character study."
Justin Lowe, Hollywood Reporter:
"While the filmmaking is certainly competent it's rarely striking."
"The plot saunters from one typical twentysomething malaise to the next, unconcerned with excavating the messy but instructive emotional gnarl that might feed Sunny's surface indecisiveness and disappointment."
"The New Year" is now available on iTunes.

It was also reRun's second-ever theatrical run, and a NY Times "Critics' Pick." It's a gem.
