GAZER

Frankie (Ariella Mastroianni) is a young mother with a rare condition that causes her to struggle to perceive time, forcing her to use self-recorded cassette tapes to help her navigate the world. Desperate to make ends meet in the middle of a tense custody battle, she takes a risky but high-paying job from a mysterious woman, unaware of the dark consequences that await. Shot on nights and weekends over two years, this paranoid Cannes thriller by first-time filmmaker Ryan J. Sloan and co-writer/star Mastroianni brings the neo-noir genre into wildly original new territory. A Metrograph Pictures release.
