Momentum Pictures Breaks the Cycle with Jamie Dack’s “Palm Trees And Power Lines”

Published on November 6, 2022

Momentum Pictures, the distrib behind Soft & Quiet, To Leslie, Dashcam and All My Puny Sorrows, have nabbed the sobering predatory drama that landed the U.S Dramatic Comp Best Director award and jury prize at Deauville debut title by Jamie Dack. Screen Daily slipped the news that Palm Trees And Power Lines will receive a limited theatrical and VoD launch in March 2023 via Momentum. This is about a disconnected teenage girl on summer break who falls into a relationship with a man more than twice her age. While she sees him as the solution to all her problems, his intentions are not what they seem. Coincidently, Geneviève Albert’s Noémie dit oui expands on this conversation.
