2015 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Noah Pritzker’s The Quitters

Noah Pritzker first surfaced with his short Little Dad (SXSW ’12), and in the summer of 2013 (see set pic), plugged away in the fog with his directorial debut. The San Fran resident shot in his own backyard with a cinematographer worth noting in Jakob Ihre (Oslo, 31. august). Backed by a strong indie duo producing team, Pritzker had Moonrise Kingdom‘s Kara Hayward, Saffron Burrows, Mira Sorvino and Kieran Culkin as his set of players.

Gist: Co-written by Pritzker and Ben Tarnoff,  this explores the upper class San Franciscan society and centers on Clark (Ben Konigsberg), a high school student, struggling to come to terms with the demands of his family, society, love. Kara Hayward plays Etta, a high school freshman dealing with her parents divorce.

Production Co./Producers: Luca Borghese (Girl Most Likely) and Ben Howe (Gabriel)

Prediction: Park City at Midnight is a possibility, and SXSW will certainly we circling this as well.

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