Co-written and directed by Lynn Shelton, Sword of Trust is a riotously funny, improv-based story about Cynthia, played by Jillian Bell, and Mary, played by Michaela Watkins, show up to collect Cynthia’s inheritance from her deceased grandfather.

The sole item she received is an antique sword that her grandfather believed to be proof that the South won the Civil War. Cynthia and Mary attempt to unload the object to a curmudgeonly pawnshop owner Mel, played by Marc Maron, and his man-child sidekick Nathaniel, played by Jon Bass.

Mel and Nathaniel discover there’s a black market for the relic. They reluctantly join forces to sell this rarefied ‘prover item’ to the highest bidder. The adventure that ensues takes the four of them on a wild journey into the depths of conspiracy theory and Southern disillusionment.

Maron also wrote and performed the music for the movie, and Mike O’Brien co-wrote the script with Shelton.

Also starring in the movie are Toby Huss and Dan Bakkedahl. Jillian Bell is busy these days and stars in the Sundance audience favorite Brittney Runs a Marathon.
