A Safe Distance (Canadá, 2026), de Gloria Mercer. Una mujer abandonada por su novio en un bosque se encuentra con una pareja en fuga. Las dos mujeres de este filme son lectoras de Patricia Highsmith, lo que señala cuál es la influencia en este buen thriller lésbico. #Fantasia2026

Drafthouse Films just picked up SXSW psychological thriller ‘A SAFE DISTANCE.’ Gloria Mercer’s tense forest-set thriller follows a woman pulled into violence and dangerous attraction after encountering a pair of fugitives in the wilderness. Story: [dreadcentral.com/indie/57121…]

The three best movies I caught at SXSW were all first-time women-directed stories of women stuck in a rut: Gloria Mercer's A SAFE DISTANCE, Emily Robinson's UGLY CRY and Arabella Oz and Nick Canellakis' MALLORY'S GHOST.

'The “Film Look” and How The Holdovers Achieved It' Wrote an article for @FilmmakerMag about THE HOLDOVERS, Payne, DP Eigil Bryidl, and colourist Joe Gawler's use of film emulation. We went deep on both technique and philosophy. Craziness! Have a look: filmmakermagazine.com/124994…
