Chillermama’s Adam Rifkin is heading to the Slamdance Film Festival with Director’s Cut, which is being hyped as “a very creative genre-bending horror/dark comedy movie-within-a-movie.”
It was written by and stars Penn Jillette and also stars Missi Pyle, Harry Hamlin and Hayes Macarthur, and was directed by Adam Rifkin.
The film will be making its world premiere on Friday, January 22, 2016 in Park City, UT as a Slamdance Film Festival Special Screening at this year’s Opening Night Film. In fact, the screening sold out so quickly Slamdance opted to add a second opening night screening.
The ultimate ‘meta movie’, DIRECTOR’S CUT is an insane, cinematic sleight of hand trick that reflects on itself, much like the stage persona of its co-star and creator, world famous illusionist Penn Jillette. Here, teamed with acclaimed Director Adam Rifkin, Jillette conjures a mind bending, genre-defying movie-within-a-movie mash-up that’s part narrative thriller, part docu-mental-case. Starring Missi Pyle, DIRECTOR’S CUT is about a cineaste stalker who kidnaps his favorite actress and forces her to star in his amateur movie. The madness that unspools behind the scenes will leave you reeling.
Here’s the film’s official festival one-sheet and trailer.
