#37. Sunshine Cleaning
Director: Christine Jeffs
Writer: Megan Holley (debut)
Producers: Jeb Brody, Peter Saraf and Marc Turtletaub (from Big Beach Films) and Glenn Williamson (Hollywoodland)
Distributor: Currently Seeking Distribution
The Gist: Written by Megan Holley, “Cleaning” is a
character piece about Rose Lorkowski, tired and frustrated by her job
cleaning other people’s homes, anxious to earn more money to send her
eight year-old son Oscar to private school, Rose goes into business
with her unreliable sister Norah doing biohazard removal and crime
scene clean up.
Fact: Jeffs directed the Paltrow-starrer very dark and difficult film Sylvia.
See It: Got some good reviews from Sundance and boasts an impressive cast. Tonality draws upon dramedy genre. Premise sounds delicious.
Release Date/Status?: This got a world preem from Sundance, but didn’t find a buyer right off the bat. Look for it in theaters this year.
