Richard Bates Jr. is on a festival roll.
After premiering Excision at the Sundance Film Festival a few years ago, he then went on to take Suburban Gothic to Fantasia. Now, he’s returning to Sundance with Trash Fire, one of the Midnight presentations.
We have a clip from Trash Fire that takes us to dinner with Owen (“Entourage” star Adrian Grenier) and his girlfriend, Isabel (Angela Trimbur), who arguing with Fionnula Flanagan about a kid out of wedlock, which continues a less than desirable bloodline.
I think Richard Bates Jr. is extremely talented, but I absolutely can’t stand or understand why he centers every. single. shot. I guess that’s officially his calling card?
Anyways, in Trash Fire, “When Owen is forced to confront the past he’s been running from his whole adult life, he and his girlfriend, Isabel, become entangled in a horrifying web of lies, deceit, and murder. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll be scarred for life.”
Excision‘s AnnaLynne McCord also stars with Angela Trimbur and Matthew Gray Gubler.
