The survival chiller is now set for release during the warmer season.
Variety reports that Blue Harbor Entertainment has picked up U.S. rights to TRIM SEASON, and has scheduled a summer release in theaters and on VOD. Directed by Ariel Vida and scripted by Vida and David Blair, it stars Bethlehem Million, Alex Essoe (MIDNIGHT MASS, DOCTOR SLEEP, STARRY EYES), Jane Badler (V), Bex-Taylor Klaus, Ally Ioannides, Juliette Kenn De Balinthazy, Ryan Donowho, Cory Hart and Marc Senter (BLACKOUT, THE LOST). The synopsis: “Emma [Million], jobless and searching for purpose, joins a group of 20somethings from Los Angeles and heads up the coast to make quick cash trimming marijuana on a secluded farm in Northern California. Cut off from the rest of the world, they soon realize that the estate is harboring darker secrets than any of them could imagine, and it becomes a race against time for Emma and her friends to escape the dense woods with their lives.”
Vida says, “I’m thrilled that Blue Harbor is bringing this team’s work to audiences, whom I hope resonate with our film’s themes of power, agency, friendship, and loss–as well as the stylized lens through which we sought to paint both the horrifying and the heart-rending.”
