SYNOPSIS A man and woman are drawn together, entangled in the lifecycle of an ageless organism. Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of wrecked lives. 2 PRESS “Upstream Color is a stimulating and hypnotic piece of experimental filmmaking.” Variety “The ultimate auteur film of the digital age, a liberating marriage of technology, talent and vision.” The Huffington Post “Carruth is perhaps the first filmmaker whose drama is based in the first-hand experience of relativity.” The New Yorker “The most overt challenge to filmmaking norms you’ll ever find.” AM New York “A deeply sincere, elliptical movie.” The New York Times “Once you’ve seen Upstream Color, it’s impossible to forget it.” Time Out New York “Mind-blowing! Plunges audiences into a realm of unkown pleasures.” The Wall Street Journal “A film of uncommon beauty, haunting mystery and massive obscurity.” The Wrap “Carruth reminds us that people are still the greatest mystery of all.” Movies.com “The experience of watching the film remains intensely transportive, resonating long after the credits roll and the lights come up.” Slant Magazine “Upstream Color is a beautiful, poetic, quietly intense film.” NPR Bullseye “…the arresting images and elliptical editing, as well as the off-kilter freshness of Carruth’s and Seimetz’s performances, add up to the only kind of profundity that’s worth anything in our book – the kind that leaves viewers speechless.” GQ “Hypnotic…a surreal love story that almost defies description.” Details Magazine “Another work of genius. One thing is certain: Shane Carruth’s name is becoming synonymous with innovative concepts and ideas.” The London Film Review “(A) mysterious, meticulous world of vision, sound and sensation.” Salon “Shane Carruth has once again proved himself to be not only a highly capable director, but also a skilled actor, writer, musician, editor and cinematographer. Definitely worth the 8 year wait time.” Ain’t It Cool News “The one-man filmmaker extraordinaire has crafted an out-there yet undeniably gripping tale that’s part romance, part sci-fi and utterly original.” LA Times “Sundance Surprise: Did one if the best movies ever made just debut in Park City?” Time Entertainment “Carruth and his minuscule cast and crew swing for the stars in this brilliant, bewildering sci-fi exploration of humanity’s mysterious biological connections.” Ioncinema “Bold, impassionate, ecstatically beautiful… in a class by itself at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.” Village Voice “An outstanding hybrid piece that enchants you on all possible levels, invigorating both the brain and the senses.” Cine Vue “Thematically rich, layered and hypnotic, Upstream Color is a maddeningly abstract and romantic examination of love.” IndieWire 3 “(…) Upstream Color certainly is something to see if you’re into brilliant technique, expressive editing, oblique storytelling, obscuritanist speculative fiction or discovering a significant new actress.” The Hollywood Reporter “There’s never quite been another film like it… Upstream Color reinvents cinema.” In These Times “Each dense, polyvalent scene spirals around the next, utilizing exquisitely composed soundscapes and imagery to create an emotionally profound experience.” Film Comment 4 CREW Written, Directed & Produced by Shane Carruth Produced by Casey Gooden, Ben LeClair Co-Produced by Meredith Burke, Toby Halbrooks Executive Producers Scott Douglass, Brent Goodman Edited by David Lowery, Shane Carruth Production Designer Thomas Walker Director of Photography Shane Carruth Camera Operators Shane Carruth, Casey Gooden, Hunter Holder, Bongani Mlambo, Jeff Walker Camera Assistant Peter Koutsogeorgas Assistant Editors Justin Scheidt, Cameron Bruce Nelson Post Production Assistant Lara Cristensen Craft Services Kathy Carruth, Karen Carruth Sound Designer Johnny Marshall Sound Editor/Mixer Pete Horner Production Sound Chad Chance Additional Sound Mike Gonzalez, Jon Meyer, Nolan Theis Original Score Shane Carruth Biological Effects Supervisor Thomas Walker Biological Effects Bongani Mlambo, Jeff Walker Special Effects Make-Up Heather Henry Casting Director Kina Bale Walden Cover Art Darrah Gooden Colorist Toby Halbrooks Production Assistants Arturo Lopez, Alex Wilson, Grant Cornelison, Thomas Lumpkin Additional Make-Up Liz McCracken, Jocelyn Lopez Weapons Master Dick Saunders, Matt Aines Background Talent Andrei Constantinescu Hair Stylist Dat Phan 5 CAST Kris Amy Seimetz Jeff Shane Carruth Sampler Andrew Sensenig Thief Thiago Martins Orchid Mother Kathy Carruth Orchid Daughter Meredith Burke Peter Andreon Watson Lucas Ashton Miramontes Monty Myles McGee Husband Frank Mosley Wife Carolyn King OBGYN Kerry McCormick MRI Tech Marco Antonio Rodriguez Woman in Club Brina Palencia HR Manager Lynn Blackburn Bank Investigator John Walpole Veterinarian #1 Dave Little Veterinarian #2 Julie Mayfield The Sampled Ben LeClair, Gerald Dewey, Leticia Magaña, Rebecca Waldon, Lindsey Roberts, Cody Pottkotter, Julie Santosuosso, Steve Jimenez, Jack Watkins, Ted Ferguson, Julie Ferguson, Karen Jagger Roth Jason Barnes Neighbor Wendy Welch EMT #1 Keith Copeman EMT #2 Nettie Yovanovitch Intern #1 Tony Tamaj Intern #2 Wheeler Williams Security Guard Tommy Watson Grocery Store Clerk Joe Cutler 6 SHANE CARRUTH Shane Carruth’s first project, “Primer,” premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Prize. “Upstream Color” is his second film.

LONG SUMMARY Molly Shannon plays Emily Dickinson in the dramatic comedy "​ Wild Nights with Emily​." The poet’s persona, popularized since her death, became that of a reclusive spinster – a delicate wallflower, too sensitive for this world. This film explores her vivacious, irreverent side that was covered up for years — most notably Emily’s lifelong romantic relationship with another woman (Susan Ziegler). After Emily died, a rivalry emerged when her brother's mistress (Amy Seimetz) along with editor T.W.

  • Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) PAUL SPARKS
    Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) Riley Keough, 26, is one of Hollywood’s rising stars. At the age of 12, she appeared in her first campaign for Tommy Hilfiger and at the age of 15 she ignited a media firestorm when she walked the runway for Christian Dior. From a young age, Riley wanted to explore her talents within the film industry, and by the age of 19 she dedicated herself to developing her acting craft for the camera. In 2010, she made her big-screen debut as Marie Currie in The Runaways starring opposite Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. People took notice; shortly thereafter, she starred alongside Orlando Bloom in The Good Doctor, directed by Lance Daly. Riley’s memorable work in the film, which premiered at the Tribeca film festival in 2010, earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Milan International Film Festival in 2012. Riley’s talents landed her a title-lead as Jack in Bradley Rust Gray’s werewolf flick Jack and Diane. She also appeared alongside Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike, directed by Steven Soderbergh, which grossed nearly $167 million worldwide. Further in 2011, she completed work on director Nick Cassavetes’ film Yellow, starring alongside Sienna Miller, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liota, as well as the Xan Cassavetes film Kiss of the Damned. As her camera talent evolves alongside her creative growth, so do the roles she is meant to play. Recently, she was the lead in the highly-anticipated fourth installment of director George Miller’s cult- classic Mad Max - Mad Max: Fury Road alongside a distinguished cast comprising of Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz and Nick Hoult.

    All That She Surveys Directed by Gary Mairs Written by James Benning Starring Amy Seimetz OFFICIAL SELECTION, COURTISANE FESTIVAL (GHENT, BELGIUM) 2012 OFFICIAL SELECTION, LUME INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (SÃO LUÍS DO MARANHÃO, BRAZIL) 2012 OFFICIAL SELECTION, DOWNTOWN FILM FESTIVAL LOS ANGELES 2012 OFFICIAL SELECTION, ZINEBI 54 - INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF DOCUMENTARY AND SHORT FILM BILBAO NOVEMBER 2012 Screened in LIGHT AND SOUND MACHINE series, THIRD MAN RECORDS, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE MAY 2013 SYNOPSIS All That She Surveys is about a woman who likes to watch. It is the third film in a series of five interconnected shorts, all directed by Gary Mairs and starring Amy Seimetz or David Nordstrom and written by different screenwriters. Each film is stylistically unique and when screened together, they form a feature length narrative. The first is Say It (2008), written by Theron Patterson (Dark Cloud, 2010 Toronto International Film Festival) and the second is The Hemingway Night (2009), written by Tom Block. Production begins on the fourth film in June 2012. The Hemingway Night premiered at the 2009 Palm Springs International Shortsfest. All That She Surveys premiered at the 2012 International Film Festival Rotterdam. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT When I say that I’m not at all sure what All That She Surveys means, I’m not being disingenuous: the film remains fundamentally mysterious to me. When James Benning approached me with the idea for the film, he related it as a series of five short episodes in a young woman’s day. There was less a sense of a story being told than of fragments of time, some events with no overarching psychological significance, an attempt to show the experience of looking and listening.

  • A Ghost Story
    Presents A GHOST STORY A film by David Lowery (93 min., USA, 2017) Language: English Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1352 Dundas St. West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1Y2 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com @MongrelMedia MongrelMedia SYNOPSIS With A GHOST STORY acclaimed director David Lowery (AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS, PETE'S DRAGON) returns with a singular exploration of legacy, loss, and the essential human longing for meaning and connection. Recently deceased, a white-sheeted ghost (Academy Award-winner Casey Affleck) returns to his suburban home to console his bereft wife (Academy Award-nominee Rooney Mara), only to find that in his spectral state he has become unstuck in time, forced to watch passively as the life he knew and the woman he loves slowly slip away. Increasingly unmoored, the ghost embarks on a cosmic journey through memory and history, confronting life’s ineffable questions and the enormity of existence. An unforgettable meditation on love and grief, A GHOST STORY emerges ecstatic and surreal — a wholly unique experience that lingers long after the credits roll. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Months before delighting global audiences with the critically acclaimed PETE’S DRAGON remake for the Walt Disney Company in the summer of 2016, writer-director David Lowery was already immersed in his next project — an independently produced, under-the-radar ghost story set in his native Texas that reunites the stars of his breakout feature, AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS.
