THN have received an official announcement from Factory 25, who’ve acquired director Joe Swanberg’s ALL THE LIGHT IN THE SKY, his next film after the indie-breakthrough hit from earlier this year DRINKING BUDDIES. The film will star acclaimed veteran character actor Jane Adams (who is also currently filming MGM’s much-anticipated POLTERGEIST reimagining.) Adams and Swanberg also collaborated on the film’s screenplay.
Adams stars as an actress living in Malibu who faces harsh realities of the industry as her age exempts her from more and more acting opportunities. Amidst this career and life crisis enters the actress’s niece, played by Sophia Takal (V/H/S), who arrives for a weekend stay and ushers in a complex prism of emotional insecurities. Can the actress confront her fears, complicated relationships, and figure out how to navigate mid-life in Hollywood?
The film also features some of today’s up-and-coming indie film personalities: Kent Osborne (Uncle Kent), Allison Baar (Bad Fever), Simon Barrett (V/H/S), Lindsay Burdge (A Teacher), Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter), Lawrence Michael Levine (Green), Susan Traylor (Greenberg) and Ti West (The Sacrament).
Joe Swanberg said:
“I am immensely proud of All the Light in the Sky, which is the result of 3 years of collaboration and development between Jane Adams and I. Jane is one of the smartest, most talented actors working today and Factory 25 will guarantee that her great work in this film is appreciated by an equally smart and sophisticated audience.”
We look forward to seeing his new work, after impressing greatly with DRINKING BUDDIES. Factory 25 is releasing ALL THE LIGHT IN THE SKY theatrically in NYC on December 20th and digitally on December 3rd via cable VOD, iTunes, Amazon VUDU, X-Box, Sony Playstation among other outlets. We’ll keep an eye out for UK screenings, which may (or may not) find its way into the film festivals in 2014.
