Watch: Official Trailer Releases For 'Sitting In Bars With Cake' Starring Yara Shahidi

The official trailer for ‘Sitting In Bars With Cake’ starring Shahidi, Odessa A’zion, Martha Kelly, Ron Livingston and Bette Midler, “the emotional trailer for the friendship-flick is full of baking, dating and drama between best friends as they navigate life in Los Angeles in their 20s.”

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.

The film is executive produced by Yara Shahidi and directed by Trish Sie (Pitch Perfect 3) and inspired by real-life events and the book of the same name by Audrey Shulman, Sitting In Bars With Cake is also executive produced by Janet Knutsen, and Teri Simpson. Susan Cartsonis, Brent Emery, Suzanne Farwell and Nick Moceri serve as producers.
