It’s only a few days until this Saturday’s Toronto Film Festival premiere of It’s Kind of a Funny Story , and already, something feels very different for filmmakers Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden. It isn’t just the assurance that Focus Features will release the film in theaters October 8 — as Boden puts it, “It’s nice to be able to go to a festival and enjoy the response to the film without that added pressure of having to sell it” — but the realization that after making very challenging, independent movies like Half Nelson and Sugar , Boden and Fleck have turned in a third feature that could finally be their mainstream crowd-pleaser.
