Zach Braff‘s long-awaited directorial follow-up to his 2004 hit Garden State, Wish I Was Here, has traveled an interesting road. Braff took to Kickstarter to fund the movie—and had much success in doing so—but faced some backlash from those who felt someone of his status shouldn’t be seeking the donations of fans to finance a project.

With all of that in the past, the movie has been made and had a strong showing at the Sundance Film Festival before being picked up by Focus Features for distribution in North America. Now the first teaser trailer for Wish I Was Here has been released, and can be seen below.

Wish I Was Here stars Braff, Kate Hudson, Mandy Patinkin, Josh Gad, Donald Faison, Ashley Greene, Jim Parsons, Joey King, and Pierce Gagnon, and will be released in limited cities starting on July 18th in New York and Los Angeles. A week later on July 25th it will arrive in 20 more cities, and then continue to expand from there.
