Graham Skipper‘s retro-themed sci-fi horror film Sequence Break, which harkens to classics like David Cronenberg’s Videodrome and Ken Russell’s Altered States, is heading to Cannes with Jinga Films acting as the sales agent. Bloody’s Pat Torfe reviewed the film, “explaining that it sports strong acting and trippy visuals.”
In the film, “A reclusive video arcade repair technician (Chase Williams) experiences bizarre biomechanical mutations and Cronenbergian hallucinations when a mysterious new arcade machine appears in his shop. Reality itself threatens to fracture as he works to solve its mystery and the new chaos that has entered his life.”
While Bloody Disgusting previously shared the festival art, here’s Jing’s sales trailer for the surreal sci-fi romance wherein a beautiful young woman and strange metaphysical forces threaten the reality of a reclusive video arcade technician, resulting in bizarre biomechanical mutations and a shocking self-realization. In the footage, you’ll see a dude (Chase Williamson) basically have sex with the machine in a scene that would make Cronenberg proud!
Sequence Break stars Chase Williamson (SiREN, John Dies at the End), Fabianne Therese (Southbound, Starry Eyes, Teenage Cocktail), Lyle Kanouse (Firefly, Auto Focus), Audrey Wasilewski (Big Love, RED), and Johnny Dinan (The Village). Skipper also produced the film with Kanouse and Wasilewski.
Skipper has also starred in a wide variety of genre films from Almost Human to The Mind’s Eye, Carnage Park and even Beyond the Gates. We’re excited to see what he does behind the camera!
Below you’ll find a a look at the festival one-sheet designed by Christopher Shy of Studio Ronin.
