2012 Sundance Predictions: Tim Sutton’s Pavilion

#47. Pavilion – Tim Sutton

I’ve pretty much fallen in love with what Tim Sutton’s Pavilion might artistically and visually entail (see trailer). A youth portrait running at 70 mins, selected as one of IFP’s 2011 Narrative Lab projects we think this would be a great addition to the Sundance’s New Frontier section.

Gist: Max, a quietly troubled 15 year old, leaves his lakeside town to live with his father on the sun-blasted fringe of suburban Arizona. As the film drifts through endless summer days, the story is transformed through a succession of interrelated characters and what starts in a calm, lush, safe environment ends in a drastic, frayed and dark confusion.

Producers: TBD
