2019 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: #74. Pippa Bianco – Share

Published on November 22, 2018

In less than two weeks from now, we should be finding out what the final title is for Pippa Bianco‘s feature length version which is based on her award winning short film, Share. Filming took place in October of 2017, so the gestation post production process assuredly makes this a top pick for a Sundance showing. An A24 financed project, Bianco attended both Sundance Labs in 2016. This stars newbie Rhianne Barreto and Charlie Plummer.

Gist: Based on the short film titled Share, this centers on a teenage girl whose life is torn apart after the release of a disturbing video at her small-town high school.

Production Co./Producers: Produced by Tyler Byrne (Blue Ruin) Loveless’ Matt Parker and Carly Hugo (To the Night).

Prediction: U.S. Dramatic Comp.

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