Ellie Sachs to Debut Feature Film 'Lucy Schulman' at Tribeca 2026

Sachs, who also stars in the titular role, explores the concept of a quarter-life crisis, depicting a character grappling with internal pressures to establish a stable relationship and career. This marks Sachs' return to Tribeca, following her 2023 short film "Proof of Concept," which also presented a coming-of-age narrative.
Comedian and actor Ellie Sachs is scheduled to present her full feature debut, "Lucy Schulman," at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2026. Sachs not only directed but also takes on the role of the title character.
The film centers on Lucy Schulman as she navigates what is described as a quarter-life crisis. The character, no longer in her early 20s, experiences internal pressure to find a partner, secure a long-term job, and generally bring order to her life.
Sachs previously participated in the Tribeca Film Festival in 2023 with her short film, "Proof of Concept." That earlier work explored a coming-of-age narrative concerning a woman who had theoretically surpassed that stage of life.
According to ScreenRant, "Lucy Schulman" captures the uncertainty often associated with adulthood.
