Violence goes viral in American Sweatshop, hitting select theaters and VOD on September 19 via Brainstorm Media.
A cyber thriller for the doom-scrolling age, the trailer below brings to mind 8MM with a modern twist.
Lili Reinhart (“Riverdale”) stars as a social media moderator tasked with purging the most offensive content from the internet. When she finds a video she believes to contain a crime, she’s lured away from the safety of her keyboard and into a dangerous world as she obsessively seeks to hold someone accountable.
TV veteran Uta Briesewitz (“Stranger Things,” “Severance”) makes her feature directorial debut from a script by Matthew Nemeth (“City on a Hill”).
Daniela Melchior (The Suicide Squad), Jeremy Ang Jones (“Hijack”), Josh Whitehouse (“Daisy Jones & The Six”), Tim Plester (“Game of Thrones”), Christiane Paul (“FBI: International”), and Joel Fry (“Our Flag Means Death”) round out the cast.
Produced by Barry Levinson (Rain Man) and Tom Fontana (“Oz”), American Sweatshop premiered at SXSW earlier this year.
