2011 Sundance Predictions: M. Blash’s The Wait

Date:

#48. The Wait – M.Blash

M. Blash’s debut film Lying went straight to Cannes, I wonder if this time out he’ll hit a fest like Sundance before attempting to repeat with the French. M. Blash’s The Wait comes in with virtuality no buzz, but then again, Meek’s Cutoff wasn’t even a blip on the radar before the Venice announcement. Starring Jena Malone, Chloë Sevigny, Luke Grimes and Devon Gearhart, the film follows two sisters who decide to keep their deceased mother in the house after receiving a call that she will come back to life. Grimes will portray a philosophical and enigmatic man who becomes smitten with Malone’s character.

* Producers: Ryan Crisman, Neil Kopp (Meek’s Cutoff) and David Guy Levy (Lying)
