Lawrence & Holloman is a Canadian black comedy film, directed by Matthew Kowalchuk and released in 2013. Adapted from the theatrical play of the same name by Morris Panych, the film stars Daniel Arnold as Holloman, an unhappy and pessimistic department store credit collector who is preparing to commit suicide when he meets brash salesman Lawrence (Ben Cotton), only for Lawrence to begin experiencing a string of bad luck that tests his eternal optimism.

The cast also includes Katharine Isabelle, Amy Matysio, Josh Epstein, Kyle Rideout, Medina Hahn and Christine Willes.

The film premiered at the 2013 Vancouver International Film Festival, where Kowalchuk won the award for Best BC Emerging Filmmaker, before going into commercial release in 2014.
