2011 Sundance Predictions: Julius Onah’s The Girl Is in Trouble

Date:

#10. The Girl Is in Trouble – Julius Onah

This Sundance edition should be a vintage one for 2010 members of Filmmaker Magazine 25 New Faces and this could possibly include, Julius Onah’s The Girl Is in Trouble. A Graduate Film Program at NYU and supported by Spike Lee, he if quickly assembles his feature film debut, which also counts as his thesis film (Onah comes across as a workaholic) then Park City becomes a strong possibility.

Columbus Short, Wilmer Valderrama, Alicja Bachleda, Jesse Spencer and Paz de la Huerta topline the thriller written by Mayuran Tiruchelvam and Onah, this follows a Lower East Side bartender who unravels a mystery that connects a desperate young woman (Bachleda) to a missing drug dealer and the scion of New York’s most powerful stockbroker. Park City at Midnight slot or a SXSW birth likely.

* Producers: Mark W. Campbell, Jen Gatien, Dana Offenbach, Robert Profusek and Ryan Silbert
