Natalie Morales is self-reliant…

Hulu has acquired the U.S. rights to Jake Johnson’s feature directorial debut Self Reliance, starring the 38-year-old Cuban American actress, in a competitive deal with MRC and Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Written by and starring Johnson, the film also stars Anna Kendrick, Andy Samberg, GaTa, Emily Hampshire, Mary Holland, Boban Marjanović, Christopher Lloyd and Wayne Brady.

The MRC-financed film premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival in March. It will premiere as a Hulu Original on September 8.

Self Reliance is about a man who is offered a million dollars to play a game in which hunters try to kill him. He thinks he found the perfect loophole: they can only attack when he’s alone. His only problem is that none of his friends or family believe the game is real.

Self Reliance is produced by Lonely Island and Walcott Productions.
