Carlota Pereda

This sounds like a great match of star, director and material.

She expanded her award-winning short film into a psychologically intense and sometimes brutally violent coming-of-age thriller.

The saga of bullying, shaming and bloody murder has been a sensation at festivals, and sees release next month.

Now, wider audiences will have the chance to view these acclaimed films.

Carlota Pereda’s film is set for North American release later this year.

It maintains an unflinching point of view, and there are no punches pulled when the going gets horrific.
