After more than a decade of working in the short form (this includes the 2010 Sundance hit TUB – see below), Bobby Miller landed the attention getting cast of Johnny Galecki, Anna Friel, Kyle Gallner, Oliver Platt and the splendid Anjelica Huston for his feature film debut. The film world is full of garbage comedy-horror genre items and in short supply of standout items. The Master Cleanse went into production this past July/August — here’s hoping that this is a worthy pilgrimage towards enlightenment and is both unique and stunning in concept and design.
Gist: When Paul (Johnny Galecki) is left at the altar by his fiancé and loses his job, he quickly deteriorates into a depressed and meaningless existence. In order to get his life back on track, he signs up for a three-day cleanse retreat sponsored by the creator of ‘The Master Cleanse’, only this cleanse releases something far greater than everyday toxins or traumatic experiences.
Production Co./Producers: Bron Studios’ Aaron L. Gilbert (Meadowland), Gilbert Films’ Jordan Horowitz (The Keeping Room)
Prediction: Park City at Midnight.
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available. TBD (domestic). WME Global (international)
