Synopsis:
13-year-old John (Charlie Shotwell) who decides to drug his well-to-do parents (Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Ehle) and older sister (Taissa Farmiga). He then holds them captive within an unfinished bunker that he discovered while walking through the woods. Home alone, John experiences newfound freedom and independence.
Visual artist Pascual Sisto directs the unorthodox coming-of-age story which premiered at Sundance. The film also marks Sisto’s feature debut.
Sisto said: “It was very important to find a good home that will provide the right context for the film to find its audience/ I’m extremely happy with IFC, it’s a company with an incredible history that really caters to each film and all their nuances. I’m excited for them to guide us into its final release.“
IFC Films plans to release the film on August 6, 2021.
Arianna Bocco, president of IFC Films, said: “Pascual has crafted a film that channels all the anger and uncertainty of adolescence into a meticulously constructed nail-biter that really gets under your skin. We’re thrilled to be partnering with him for the release of this incredibly exciting debut.”
Birdman screenwriter Nicolás Giacobone adapts his short story. Elika Portnoy, Alex Orlovsky, and Michael Bowes produce. Phil Hoelting, Marco Vicini, and Fernando Tsai serve as executive producers. The sound design team (Nicolas Becker, Jaime Baksht, Michelle Couttolenc, Carlos Cortés) just won an Oscar for Sound of Metal.
