Although the second season of HBO's "Girls" closed with Hannah (Lena Dunham) being swooped up into the comforting arms of her ex, Adam (Adam Driver), while Marnie (Allison Williams) reunited with Charlie (Christopher Abbott, who's since left the show), there was no happy ending to be had for embittered sad sack coffee shop manager Ray (Alex Karpovsky) in his relationship with college student Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet). For actor/filmmaker Karpovsky, on the other hands, things seem to only be looking up. Recently nominated for a Critics' Choice Television Award for best supporting actor in a comedy series for his role in "Girls," Karpovsky can soon be seen in the Coen brothers' Cannes Grand Prix-winning "Inside Llewyn Davis." He also wrote, directed and starred in a pair of his own films, "Rubberneck" and "Red Flag," which opened in theaters earlier this year. While in keeping true to its title, "Girls" is...

The boys on ‘Girls’ may have all sorts of trouble dealing with the women in their lives but, in real time, Alex Karpovsky says life could not be sweeter with Lena Dunham at the helm of the hit show.
“I love Lena to death,” says the actor who plays barista Ray Ploshansky. “I love her as a friend and colleague. She can always separate her acting from her directing, it’s extraordinary how she does it.
Ray and Shoshanna - in love, but... it's complicated
And how does he feel about Ray? “I love him, but I’m very frustrated with him, it’s a very conflicted relationship.”
At the centre of Ray’s life is his relationship with the much younger Shoshanna, who loves him but is troubled by his lack of ambition. This is not a charge that could ever be levelled at Karpovsky, a busy writer-actor-director in...

Rubberneck
Written by Garth Donovan and Alex Karpovsky
Directed by Alex Karpovsky
USA, 2013
Lena Dunham isn’t the only filmmaker who also appears in front of the camera on the HBO series Girls. Alex Karpovsky (who plays Ray on the show) is a director in his own right, having directed the micro-indies The Hole Story and Woodpecker around the same time that Dunham was directing her earliest efforts. His new film Rubberneck is much like the characters in Girls: not completely together, but intriguing and well-intentioned.
Karpovsky himself plays Paul Harris, a scientist in Boston who is a rubberneck in many ways. In a few scenes he is literally rubbernecking on the side of a highway, which is maybe a too literal way to illustrate that he’s also rubbernecking at the people around him, watching them go by without being able to make any real connection. He thinks...

Sony Pictures Classics is looking forward to a big Oscar night with foreign contenders "Amour" and "No" as well as two leading documentary entries, "Searching for Sugar Man" and "The Gatekeepers." The question is where the specialty box office goes after the awards. "No" and "The Gatekeepers" are both rolling out well in their initial stages, giving hope for success in further markets in upcoming weeks, whatever wins tonight. "Amour" is amassing less than spectacular numbers given its high profile. An atypical independent release -- in more mainstream than specialized theaters --and the sole standout among new films, Latino-targeted "Bless Me Ultima" had passable success in regional release. Three Video on Demand releases also reported grosses for their limited openings: Tribeca Film's "Red Flag" and "Rubberneck" -- both directed by Alex Karpovsky, both premiered...

You guys are fans of Alex Karpovsky, right? Oh, good, because we’ve got a double feature of exclusive clips from the writer/director/actor’s latest two films, the very funny Red Flag and the very unsettling Rubberneck, both of which are hitting the big screen in New York City today as part of a special engagement at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. What’s most impressive about these two features is how very different they are. In Red Flag, Karpovsky plays a familiar version of himself – no, really, the film is loosely based on his own experiences as a struggling filmmaker – as his character embarks on an ill-fated road trip to promote one of his films at some of the most random (and tiny) venues in America. When an old pal tags along, it seems like a good idea, until a big fan of Karpovsky’s (read: she’s a stalker) starts popping up...

This weekend sees such diverse personalities as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and "Girls" star Alex Karpovsky on the big screen. Johnson's vehicle "Snitch" isn't snatching much praise from critics, while Karpovsky has written, directed and starred in the double feature "Rubberneck" and "Red Flag," receiving middling to positive reviews. Carl Franklin, who directed some of the best episodes of Netflix's "House of Cards," has his adaptation "Bless Me, Ultima" in limited release, which is receiving upbeat reviews.

Chances are, if the movie doesn't feature a dolphin with a prosthetic tail on the poster and it carries "inspired by true events" disclaimer, then it's going to be something about murder, mayhem or the decades-long search for the Zodiac killer. So by announcing that your movie is inspired by true events, what could have been an unsettling reveal instead becomes a waiting game: who is going to get killed, how long is it going to take, and why have you never read about it before? It may add a slight bit of tension, but it's at the cost of almost everything else. Such is the case with "Rubberneck," written, directed and starring Lena Dunham confederate Alex Karpovsky, which has an intriguing-enough true crime premise but ends up coming across like something you'd stumble upon on Lifetime one Sunday afternoon (but without all the laughs of, say, "Drew Peterson: Untouchable"). "Rubberneck" focuses on Paul Harris.

New York audiences will be treated to a unique theatrical experience starting Friday, February 22, at the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center. In celebration of the talented actor-writer-director Alex Karpovsky, Tribeca Film and the renowned art house theater are thrilled to present a double feature consisting of the budding auteur's newest films - Red Flag and Rubberneck. Karpovsky will also be in attendance for opening weekend Q and As on both Friday and Sautrday nights. Both Rubberneck and Red Flag explore relationships and the ways we connect with one another, albeit in two very different ways. Filmed on-location in Boston, Rubberneck, which celebrated its world premiere at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival, is a terrifyingly believable psychosexual thriller centered around an office romance gone horribly awry. Red Flag, which made its world debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Film Festival, is a laugh-out-loud comedy starring Karpovsky ...

Alex Karpovsky’s Paul Harris is doing pretty well for himself. He’s got a stable job at a small research facility and even gets lucky with an attractive co-worker. Trouble is, Danielle (Jaime Ray Newman) prefers to leave it as a one-time fling whereas Paul is desperate for a serious relationship. Even when Danielle very clearly hits it off with a new employee, Paul won’t give up and his desperation for her approval and affection makes him increasingly unhinged. Karpovsky pulls double duty, both directing and starring in “Rubberneck.” While the large majority of the film is rather mellow and focuses on Paul’s low-key life, Karpovsky still manages to create such [ Read More ]

His fourth and fifth films, the stylistically contrasting Rubberneck and Red Flag, are being released by Tribeca Film and screen at Film Society of Lincoln Center from February 22.

Alex Karpovsky is a busy, busy guy. He's best known for his role as Ray, the coffee-slinging man-child entangled with the naive Shoshanna on HBO's "Girls," but when he's not wearing his characters Cafe Grumpy apron, you might find Karpovsky in an editing bay, behind a camera, holed up writing, or starring in one of his own films.
Though two of these features, "Rubberneck" and "Red Flag," are both out on VOD and in limited release Friday, their openings and top billing (Karpovsky is writer, director and star of both) are about all they have in common. "Rubberneck" follows meek research scientist Paul (Karpovsky), whose infatuation with a co-worker escalates to dangerous levels, while in "Red Flag," Karpovsky plays himself as a filmmaker struggling with life and love on the road.

Best known as Ray, cynical comedic foil and deflowerer of Zosia Mamet’s Shoshanna on the HBO series “Girls,” Alex Karpovsky is also the writer and director of four feature films and a documentary, whether you knew it or not. On February 19th, Karpovsky the budding auteur will finally get some more widespread attention when Tribeca Film and American Express release his two most recent films, the semi-autobiographical “Curb Your Enthusiasm” inspired comedy “Red Flag,” and the decidedly darker dramatic thriller “Rubberneck.” The two movies, both of which were directed by and star Karpovsky, couldn’t be more different: “Red Flag” is a quasi-documentary following the actor as he journeys around the south on a screening tour of his second feature, “Woodpecker,” reeling from a recent breakup and a bad case of back pain as he maneuvers through crappy hotel rooms, psychotic stalkers, and post...

It's not an easy thing to keep an audience suspended between sympathy and revulsion for a character, but writer-director Alex Karpovsky (best known for his recurring role on HBO's Girls) and co-screenwriter Garth Donovan do just that in the unsettling, tough-minded Rubberneck. The film kicks off with an almost meditative feel as it introduces us to Paul Harris, who works in a science lab, and Danielle (Jamie Ray Newman), the new coworker with whom he has a one-night stand. A low-flame tension and sense of dread kicks in when Danielle makes it clear that nothing more is to come of the hookup, and Paul immediately becomes unhinged. Initially his response is just creepy and discomfiting, but when Danielle begins an affair with another colleague, a married man, Paul's jealous...

Editor's note: A version of this review initially ran during the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. Tribeca Film releases "Rubberneck" and "Red Flag" on VOD today and theatrically at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center in New York on Friday. Indiewire co-hosts a conversation with Karpovsky at the Apple Store in Soho tonight at 6 p.m. For more information, go here. Alex Karpovsky is a man of considerable talent whose time has come. Lost in the hype of the so-called mumblecore movement when it first erupted out of the SXSW scene, Karpovsky was not as prolific or media-savvy as Joe Swanberg or the Duplass brothers, but his interests as both actor and filmmaker have more complex ingredients. Over the last five years, Karpovsky has directed a wide variety of projects: a mockumentary about bird watching ("Woodpecker"), a real documentary about improvisation ("Trust Us, This is All Made Up"), and now both a tense thriller,...

In fact, Karpovsky is getting a double feature run at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center for his latest productions, “Red Flag” and “Rubberneck,” via Tribeca Film and the Film Society of Lincoln Center.

Before he was Girls' Ray, or "the guy who sleeps next to Lena Dunham" in Tiny Furniture, Alex Karpovsky was writing, directing, and acting in independent films all his own. This week, Tribeca Films releases two of Karpovsky's most recent works: Red Flag, a road-trip comedy starring Karpovsky as himself, and Rubberneck, a psycho-drama starring Karpovsky as an emotionally stunted scientist who seeks revenge on a former lover. Vulture spoke with Karpovsky about both films, playing himself onscreen, and whether or not Ray learned anything in Staten Island on last night's Girls.Rubberneck seems like a departure for you — or at least something audiences won't expect to see you in. What inspired you to make a dark psycho-thriller?Well, one, I love those types of movies. Slow-burning, character-driven, psychosexual thrillers are probably my favorite genre as a viewer. They're hard to pull off; there's a challenge there. I'd always...

If you've watched Lena Dunham's "Girls" on HBO then you're already fairly familiar with the distinctive style of Alex Karpovsky. On the show, he plays Ray, a side character from Season 1 - essentially the troublemaking bandmate of Allison Williams aka Marnie's boyfriend. Since then, he's become Hannah's boss at the coffee shop where she works and the live-in boyfriend for the previously virginal Shoshanna (played by Zosiz Mamet) and an integral part of Season 2. What fans of "Girls" may not know is that Karpovsky is also an accomplished indie filmmaker whose third and fourth dramatic films as a writer, director and actor will be released this week following festival premieres last year. Although Karpovsky stars in both Red Flag and Rubberneck , they're very...

Ray (Alex Karpovsky) had to face some harsh truths in the most recent episode of “Girls.” Very much to Shoshanna’s (Zosia Mamet) surprise, Ray isn’t just keeping close for the sake of being romantic; he’s basically living with her. Making matters worse, he’s a 33-year-old with no job mooching off his 21-year-old girlfriend. Then again, they do genuinely love each other, so that’s a plus, right? While discussing Alex Karpovsky’s upcoming feature endeavors, “Red Flag” and “Rubberneck,” Karpovsky offered his own two cents, explaining, “Ray and Shoshanna enter this … place where they’re starting to throw the L-word around to each other, and it’s a place that’s very scary for [ Read More ]

Tribeca Film and the Film Society of Lincoln Center are giving two films, "Rubberneck" and "Red Flag," by writer-director-actor Alex Karpovsky a double feature run at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center. Like his frequent collaborator Lena Dunham ("Girls," "Tiny Furniture"), Karpovsky stars himself his films. Co-written by Karpovsky and Garth Donovan, "Rubberneck," which debuted at Tribeca, is a psychological thriller about a research scientist (Karpovsky) whose love for a beautiful coworker turns into an uncontrollable obsession. Karpovsky wrote, directed, and stars as himself in "Red Flag," which debuted at the La Film Fest. It's a black comedy about a newly-single indie filmmaker who hits the road to promote his latest movie to a series of half-empty theaters.

Tribeca Films has picked up North American rights for two films by Alex Karpovsky, "Rubberneck" and "Red Flag." Both films Karpovsky wrote and starred in, and center on a young man's awkward navigation of relationships.

Tribeca has theatrical and VOD releases planned for February, 2013. Karpovsky is one of the many artists who received the Lena Dunham boost following the success of "Tiny Furniture" in 2010. Karpovsky had a supporting role in that film, and went on to get parts in Mike Birbiglia's "Sleepwalk With Me," as well as Dunham's Emmy-nominated HBO comedy "Girls."

"Rubberneck," which had its premiere at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival, features Karpovsky as a research scientist who develops an increasingly dangerous infatuation with a co-worker following a weekend fling. The film was receieved positively by Eric Kohn in April. "Red Flag" has Karpovsky as an indie filmmaker on the road with an old friend to promote his new film, with the trip growing absurd as the pair are thrown into a love triangle with an adoring fan. Kohn also receieved the film positively at its premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival in June. Tribeca Films has a planned release for both films in February.

In the Tribeca Film tradition of nurturing emerging filmmakers, we proudly announce our acquisitions of the North American rights to Rubberneck and Red Flag, the two latest projects from actor-writer-director Alex Karpovsky, best known for his roles in Tiny Furniture, Sleepwalk With Me and HBO's Girls. Both of these exceptional films explore relationships and how we connect with one another, albeit in two very different ways. Rubberneck premiered at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival and later went on to tour the festival circuit. Filmed on-location in Boston, the film follows an unstable research scientist who slowly becomes obsessed with a beautiful co-worker. Starring Karpovsky, Jamie Ray Newman and Dennis Staroselsky, this slow-burn character-study-turned-psychosexual-thriller is an alarmingly believable story of a workplace romance gone horribly wrong. Red Flag world-premiered on the West Coast at the 2012 Los Angeles Film Festival and has continued to delight Festival ...

A familiar face to those in the New York City indie film scene, Alex Karpovsky's profile is on the rise. Both an actor and director, he had a very busy 2012; he wrote, directed and starred in two films -- Red Flag and Rubberneck -- and had a supporting role in his friend Lena Dunham's monster hit HBO series, Girls. He and Dunham, both New York City residents, go way back; he co-starred in her 2010 breakout film Tiny Furniture. With several other films on his plate, including a role in Joel and Ethan Coen's Inside Llewyn Davis, he's going to

Alex Karpovsky took this year’s Tribeca Film Festival by storm. Perhaps the most promising talent of those novice professionals roaming around the Manhattan-based festival, Karpovsky wrote, directed and starred in the psycho-sexual thrill ride Rubberneck. and, despite the film’s title, played the leading role in Daniel Schechter’s editing room dramedy, Supporting Characters . The multifaceted Boston native has continued to gain momentum in the independent film community since his 2005 debut as a filmmaker with The Whole Story and noted performance as Jed in Lena Dunham’s highly acclaimed Tiny Furniture. In Rubberneck, Karpovsky seamlessly departs from the quirky, dry witted,...

The opening night movie of the Los Angeles Film Festival — Woody Allen’s To Rome with Love — was announced three weeks ago (along with screenings of Sundance winners Middle of Nowhere and Beasts of the Southern Wild), but today the rest of the line-up was unveiled, with the headline news being that Steven Soderbergh’s male stripper romp, Magic Mike, starring Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey, will close out the June fest.
In the narrative competition, there are notable entries from Cory McAbee (The American Astronaut), Jared Moshé (a familiar name as a producer, making his first film as director), and Alex Karpovsky, whose other 2012 effort, Rubberneck, just premiered at Tribeca. Among the other premieres are the Uganda-set Lgbt doc Call Me Kuchu, the star-studded directorial debut of screenwriter Alex Kurtzman, People Like Us, and indie stalwart Spencer Parsons’ Saturday Morning Massacre.

Alex Karpovsky is a man of considerable talent whose time has come. Lost in the hype of the so-called mumblecore movement when it first erupted out of the SXSW scene, Karpovsky was not as prolific or media-savvy as Joe Swanberg or the Duplass brothers, but his interests as both actor and filmmaker have more complex ingredients. Over the last five years, Karpovsky has made a mockumentary about bird watching ("Woodpecker"), a real documentary about improvisation ("Trust Us, This is All Made Up"), and now a tense thriller, "Rubberneck," in which he also stars. He has additionally acted, usually in comically discomfiting roles, including Andrew Bujalski's "Beeswax," Bryan Poyser's "Lovers Hate," and Lena Dunham's "Tiny Furniture," as well as several other bit parts. He's in fine form in "Supporting Characters," once again teetering on the edge of sarcasm and emotional fragility, and always the...

Even if you don’t know Alex Karpovsky by name, chances are you've seen his work. He’s an insanely prolific actor who stars in two movies at Tribeca — one of which, Rubberneck, he wrote and directed — and can also be seen as the arrogant Ray Ploshansky on HBO’s Girls. He has also had parts both big and small in some of the most acclaimed work coming out of the young American independent cinema, including playing the self-centered couch surfer in Lena Dunham’s Tiny Furniture. In Rubberneck, his fourth film as a director and also probably his most ambitious, he plays a tormented scientist whose obsession with a co-worker leads him down a dangerously self-destructive path. In his other festival film, Supporting Characters, he plays an amiable film editor whose professional relationships begin to intrude on his personal life. Oh, and have we mentioned that he’s in the new Coen Brothers film?...

Actor and director Alex Karpovsky has been a fixture in the past few years in low-budget American indies, many of which have fallen under the rubric (though I hate the term) of "mumblecore." In many of these films, both directed by himself and by others, he is an affable and sardonic presence, who has drawn comparisons in many quarters to Woody Allen. Often in the characters he plays, a darker undercurrent is revealed that lies underneath the friendly façade presented to the world. Up until now, at least in what I have seen so far of his work, this all existed more or less solidly in the realm of comedy. However, Rubberneck, his latest film as director and lead actor, takes him into very different...

Chances are, if the movie doesn't feature a dolphin with a prosthetic tail on the poster, and it carries "inspired by true events" disclaimer, then it's going to be something about murder, mayhem, or the decades-long search for the Zodiac killer. So by announcing that your movie is inspired by true events, what could have been an unsettling reveal instead becomes a waiting game: who is going to get killed, how long is it going to take, and why have you never read about it before? It may add a slight bit of tension, but it's at the cost of almost everything else. Such is the case with "Rubberneck," written, directed, and starring Lena Dunham confederate Alex Kaprovsky, which has an intriguing-enough true crime premise but ends up coming across like something you'd stumble upon on Lifetime one Sunday afternoon (but without all the laughs of, say, "Drew Peterson: Untouchable...

"SXSW everyman Alex Karpovsky makes his Tribeca debut with a shocking turn in Rubberneck." From Steve Dollar's "Critic's Notebook" at GreenCine Daily: "The tightly wound suspense tale of a workplace obsession gone wrong finds the former stand-up comic playing a Boston research scientist whose emotional well-being has been stunted by a family secret. Because of his endless string of performances in indie comedies, I naively assumed that Karpovsky wrote and directed Rubberneck as some sort of deeply twisted humor of excruciation. And I can tell you, that attitude made the first half of the film amazingly weird to watch. Once the plot pivots, though, there will be no confusion."
Karpovsky "turns in a nicely broody, moody performance as Paul, a lab worker who has a weekend fling with a colleague (Jaime Ray Newman) and can't handle her subsequent rejection," writes Neil Genzlinger in his roundup of "twisted movies" at Tribeca in today's New York Times.

Alex Karpovsky, the writer-director-actor who has already made an impact at SXSW and Sundance with films like “The Hole Story,” “Beeswax,” and “Tiny Furniture,” stars in two films that are premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival this year. In “Supporting Characters,” Karpovsky is one half of a film editing duo working to re-cut a failing movie while coping with personal and professional turmoil. And in “Rubberneck,” which he also co-wrote and directed, Karpovsky is a scientist who gradually loses control after a one-night stand with a co-worker.This is Karpovsky’s first time in attendance at the festival, both as a viewer and a filmmaker.

After gaining recognition as an actor, writer, and director at film festivals like Sundance and SXSW, indie favorite Alex Karpovsky prepares to take on Tribeca for the first time, with lead roles in two films that will debut at the fest this year. Tff hosts the world premieres of both "Rubberneck"—which the actor also directed and co-wrote—and "Supporting Characters" on Friday, April 20."Supporting Characters" stars Karpovsky and Tarik Lowe, who co-wrote the film with director Daniel Schechter, as best friends and co-editors who struggle to re-cut a movie while balancing their relationships with each other, their girlfriends, and an insecure director (Kevin Corrigan). Schechter and Lowe based the semi-autobiographical film on incidents from their personal lives, crafting a simultaneously offbeat and naturalistic New York story.Schechter's own experience as an editor is evident in the script, which blends intimate relationships with humorous details of life in an editing room.

Over the last few years, actor Alex Karpovsky has slowly grown into one of the most recognizable faces in American indies. And with a recurring role on Girls, Lena Dunham’s upcoming HBO series, he stands poised to break through to a wider audience. As if he wasn’t busy enough, Karpovsky has found time to migrate behind the lens for Rubberneck, his directorial followup to 2009′s Second City improv documentary Trust Us, This is All Made Up. A psychological thriller about an unhinged scientist (Karpovsky, directing himself) who grows increasingly obsessed with a co-worker he’s recently had a one-night stand with, Rubberneck premieres this Friday as part of the Tribeca Film Festival’s Viewpoints section.

After the making three films, all comedies, director Alex Karpovsky is heading to Tribeca with "Rubberneck," his first foray into the thriller genre. With his influences for the film ranging from Michael Haneke to Adrian Lyne, he's modeling himself after good company. Along with his directorial and co-writing duties on the film, Karpovksy also dabbles in acting and is a primary cast member of "Rubberneck." What's it about?: "Rubberneck is a slow-burning, character-driven psychosexual thriller revolving around a scientific laboratory on the outskirts of Boston." Your background?: "I grew up in the suburbs of Boston. Following grad school (where I studied visual ethnography), I devoted an unhealthy amount of time trying to become the next Andy Kaufman. I did a lot of forgettable performance art and misguided theater and ‘alternative comedy’ in my early twenties and the ephemerality of it all began to...

On Monday, February 11, Alex Karpovsky (Tiny Furniture, HBO's Girls, the upcoming Coen Brothers movie, Inside Llewyn Davis) will discuss his body of work as an actor, editor, writer and director and offer his insight on this growing generation of 'multi-hyphenates,' complete with clips from his upcoming features, Red Flag and Rubberneck (both will be released by Tribeca Film in theaters and on demand later this month).
