By Gregg Goldstein

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - William H. Macy and Cheryl Hines will play bickering parents in the indie coming-of-age comedy "Bart Got a Room."

Steven Kaplan makes his feature debut as the title character, a nerdy high school senior living in a Florida retirement community with his parents. He struggles to find a prom date with the help of his best friend (Alia Shawkat).

Principal photography begins this month in Florida. Brian Hecker directs.

Macy was recently in theaters with "Wild Hogs," and Hines with "Waitress." She co-starred with Shawkat on Fox's "Arrested Development."
