2019 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: #11. Jeff Brown – The Beach House

Date:

In an unexpected trajectory (along the lines of a Lance Hammer or Markus Schleinzer), with close to two decades of production and locations department gigs that include Jean-Marc Vallee’s Demolition, Sophie Barthes’ Cold Souls and Julie Delpy’s Two Days in New York, Jeff Brown should be debuting his feature film debut sometime in 2019. His passion sci-fi/horror project The Beach House is an off the radar offering that found a great trio of indie producers in Sophia Lin, Andrew D. Corkin and Tyler Davidson and recently surfaced at the IFP’s No Borders program. No details on the players.

Rooftop Films 2019

Gist: A romantic beach getaway for two troubled college sweethearts turns into a struggle for survival when unexpected guests – and eventually the entire environment – exhibit signs of a mysterious transformative affliction.
