Spotlight on homegrown cinema
CANADA | 119 minutes | 2018
Welcome to St. John’s, Newfoundland, a close-knit island community where eye-for-an-eye justice prevails. A singularly straight-edged police officer comes home for his mother’s funeral. There, he finds his small-time-dealer cousin Danny, with whom he shares an anchor tattoo and more than a few family secrets. Andrew Rowe’s first feature-length drama was developed with his brother Michael, the former drummer for Bucket Truck and the actor who plays the antihero Deadshot on Arrow. A neo-noir, hardcore-inspired drama, highstrung and intense.Q&A with the producers on October 5th
