2016 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Chadd Harbold’s Long Nights Short Mornings

Published on November 25, 2015

Having flirted with the Sundance festivities with his 2009 selected short film Asshole, and in the sister NEXT WEEKEND event back in 2013 with his sophomore film, Chadd Harbold, who so far has several shorts and two features under his belt in Revenge for Jolly! (2012) and How to Be a Man (2013) has had his third film lined-up for a couple of years now. Shiloh Fernandez toplines Long Nights Short Mornings, a drama that some might compare to Steve McQueen’s Shame as it focalizes on one man’s desires in our social app hook up age. Production began in Brooklyn this past June, so this has had a little time to congeal.

Gist: An examination of the romantic life of a young man in New York City and his sometimes fleeting, sometimes profound experiences with the women he encounters.

Production Co./Producers: Dan Berk (Body), Michael W. Gray (Jamie Marks Is Dead), Robert Olsen, Alex Sagalchik (Ghost Team). Executive producers: Harbold, Kevin Iwashina (Frank & Lola), Kevin Kinsella, Rob Moran, Evan Sacks, Martin Sprock.

Prediction: U.S. Dramatic Comp.

U.S. Distributor: Rights Available. TBD (domestic). TBD (international)
