Amazon Prime Video has unveiled the first look images and release date for its upcoming film ‘Sitting in Bars with Cake’, starring Yara Shahidi, Odessa A’zion, Ron Livingston, and Bette Midler. Helmed by Trish Sie (‘Pitch Perfect 3’), ‘Sitting in Bars with Cake’ will launch globally on Amazon Prime Video on 8th September, 2023.
Inspired by true events, ‘Sitting in Bars with Cake’ follows best friends Jane (Yara Shahidi) and Corinne (Odessa A’zion) navigating life in Los Angeles in their twenties. Corinne, the ultimate extrovert, convinces her shy-but-extremely-talented home baker best friend Jane to commit to a year of baking cakes and bringing them to bars, with the goal of meeting people and developing confidence–also known as “cakebarring.”
During their year of “cakebarring,” Corinne receives a life-altering diagnosis, and the pair face a challenge unlike anything they’ve experienced before. ‘Sitting in Bars with Cake’ isn’t only a madcap joyride through some of L.A.’s most colorful watering holes, it’s a moving celebration of female friendship, forging identity, and finding joy in the most unexpected places.
Directed by Trish Sie, ‘Sitting in Bars with Cake’ is inspired by real-life events and the book of the same name by Audrey Shulman, who also wrote the screenplay.
‘Sitting in Bars with Cake’ is produced by Susan Cartsonis, Brent Emery, Suzanne Farwell and Nick Moceri. Executive producers for the film are Yara Shahidi, Janet Knutson and Teri Simpson. ‘Sitting in Bars with Cake’ will premiere only on Amazon Prime Video on 8th September, 2023.
