“Resolution” is a film that is getting a lot of attention lately. Recently picked up by Tribeca Films the film as seen a good amount of love from the festival circuit this year. Directed by Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson the intense cinema verite styled character profile thriller is being called “genre defying”. Press Release:
Mysterious forces, personal demons, dark humor and gripping performances combine in the genre-defying tour-de-force Resolution. Tribeca Film today announced it has acquired all North American rights from XYZ Films to rising directing duo Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson's naturalistic-yet-otherworldly thriller. The film's enigmatic narrative and fresh take on genre filmmaking captivated audiences and critics at its Tribeca Film Festival and Fantasia International Film Festival premieres earlier this year.
Moorhead and Benson brilliantly straddle the line between raw thrills and honest emotion as complex characters and powerful performances drive this ambitious, unconventional narrative about two friends, one a junkie forced to go cold turkey in an isolated cabin. But what begins as an attempt to save his friend's life quickly takes an unexpected turn "sure to please even the most seasoned horror fans" (Sound on Sight). "Much of Resolution's fear factor happens in your head," the Montreal Gazette raved, due to its "constantly shifting tone, from male-bonding buddy movie to occult thriller, psychodrama, horror and more."
Tribeca Film plans an early 2013 theatrical release day and date with on-demand platforms, where it will be available in 40+ million homes through a variety of video-on-demand offerings, as well as iTunes, Amazon Watch Instantly, VUDU and Xbox. A strong festival run is set ahead of the commercial release.
Horror buffs and film industry insiders have kept a keen eye on breakout co-directors Moorhead and Benson, who Twitch placed "in the class of bright young voices in American horror to watch including Ti West, Jim Mickle and Adam Wingard." The enterprising pair has an uncanny ability to capture true humanity within the context of an intricate narrative. While genre elements surface in Resolution, otherworldly tones create an exhilarating layer of unpredictability.
"Anchored by two extraordinary lead performances, Resolution is a truly singular work that avoids easy classification," said Geoffrey Gilmore, Chief Creative Officer of Tribeca Enterprises. "Aaron and Justin are some of the industry's brightest new talent."
