'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl' is the story of perennial layabout Greg Gaines (Thomas Mann), who wiles away his time making lo-fi parodies of art-house films with his best friend Earl (Ronald Cyler II). This is until Greg’s overbearing mother (Connie Britton) forces him to visit his terminally ill classmate Rachel (Olivia Cooke), a girl he barely knows. They hit it off as Greg’s monotone humour keeps her entertained. 

'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl' is based on the book by Jesse Andrews, who adapted it for the screen. The film won both the Gran Jury Prize and the Audience Award at this year’s Sundance Festival and will premiere in the UK at Somerset House in August. 

The trailer features 'I Bet My Life' by Imagine Dragons.
