2011 Sundance Predictions: Brady Kiernan’s Stuck Between Stations

#42. Stuck Between Stations – Brady Kiernan

Anyone who reads the site, certainly already knows about Brady Kiernan’s Stuck Between Stations – a film that looks like a contemporary “Before Sunrise” set in Minneapolis and will likely breakout at one or both fests that cater to American Indie films. Supported by IFP Filmmaker Labs, the film is a shoe-in for SXSW because of connections with actors Sam Rosen and Zoe Lister Jones (Breaking Upwards), but will count on Josh Hartnett’s good standing in Park City to help with the in-roads. I’m not sure what the budget number was on Kiernan’s low budget film, but it would be a good fit for somewhere between the NEXT and Dramatic Competition sections.

Casper (Rosen), a soldier who experienced the horrors of war, fell in love with Rebecca (Jones), a once-promising grad student who just killed her career. Althought they have known each other since elementary school, the two soon reconnect. They spend a night in the underbelly of Minneapolis talk through their hopes and dreams, and maybe becoming closer to one another.

* Producers: Todd Cobery and Spencer Kiernan
