Bo Burnham, the 27-year-old comedian that has been known for his social media presence and comedy acts has a new project up his sleeve. Everyone thought he was laying low, but he was secretly working on his next big project.

He is releasing his first feature film this summer entitled Eighth Grade and it is set to be released sometime this year. It premiered on the Sundance festival on January 19th and has gotten great reviews.

The Sundance press release stated:
The story centers around an awkward girl in the eighth grade who is trying to fit in with the other people at school but her social anxiety doesn’t allow her to branch out. To cope she uses the internet to vent and post videos, but it all comes at a price. The theme of this movie relates to anyone who hated middle school- and who didn’t? It might be a basic concept but Bo Burnham does have a talent for comedy, and we will certainly be seeing his dry comedy up on the big screen- let’s hope it doesn’t tank like his MTV show Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous (despite how good it really was).
The film is set to be released in July:
