An “impressively controlled, profoundly disquieting directorial debut”
- Scott Macaulay, Filmmaker Magazine
An older man picks up a younger man in his car. As they drive, and subsequently settle into an austere rental house in the country, the details of their arrangement become guttingly clear.
Winner of the 24fps Horizon Award for Most Promising Filmmaker.
Festival Highlights: Sundance (World Premiere / in-competition for Short Film Grand Jury Prize), Palm Springs (Special Mention - Best U.S. Short), Fantasia Film Festival, NewFest, Brooklyn Horror (Best Cinematography), Overlook, Festival MiX (Milan), Motel/X (Lisbon), TOHorror (Special Mention - Best Short), CinemaForum (Warsaw), Philadelphia (Honorable Mention for Best Screenplay) and more.
Additional Honors: Shortlist for the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes, Nominee for the Kurosawa Award and Grand Jury Prize (24fps), Nominee for the Iris Prize.
