2016 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Adam Leon’s Tramps

We’d like to give as much insight into the project other than cast list and title, but Adam Leon‘s sophomore film has been existing somewhere off the radar. His debut became the Cinderella story of 2012 for micro-budgeted American indies. Gimme the Loot won the Grand Jury – Best Narrative Feature prize at the 2012 SXSW Film Fest and then became one of the rare SXSW-selected titles to break into Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard section. Nominated for the Gotham Awards’ Breakthrough Director Award and both a nominee (for Best First Feature) and winner (Someone to Watch Award) at the Indie Spirits Awards, we imagine that the coin helped fund his larger-budgeted follow up. Working with another young cast, Tramps includes actors Callum Turner (Jeremy Saulnier’s Green Room) and newcomers Grace Van Patten and Michal Vondel.

Gist: TBD.

Production Co./Producers: Dark Arts’ Andrea Roa (Unexpected), Joshua Astrachan (Short Term 12) and Jamund Washington (Gimme the Loot).

Prediction: We don’t even know what genre this is, so our stab in the dark option is NEXT or the U.S Dramatic. This could also shore up in Cannes’ sidebar sections.

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