2011 Sundance Predictions: Gregory Kohn’s Northeast

#33. Northeast – Gregory Kohn

Kickstarter.com might just become a major supplier of DIY talent for the Sundance Film Festival. Last year’s introduction of the NEXT section had an example, perhaps Gregory Kohn’s Northeast will be one more project to follow. With a grab-bag of indie acting talent in David Call, Eléonore Hendricks and Tate Ellington, the low-budget, 16mm project appears likely for a SXSW birth, and perhaps Park City world preem. 

This is about Will, an amoral modern man (played by David Call) who just moved to the city for the first time. As he endures the cold, lonely days of winter, he fills his nights with a variety of intriguing women. Yet, as he settles into his new routine, he begins to question his own indifference, and wonders if there’s something beyond just sex. While Will is a unique character, the film draws the viewer into the lives of the women he encounters and asks the audience to question whether he is really that different from any of us.

* Producers: Eleonore Meier and Christine No (Terri)
