EVERY HEAVY THING

description

Director Mickey Reece takes us on a journey centered around an ad-seller for one of the last alt-weeklies in the country, who, after witnessing a murder, is intimidated into being the killer’s reluctant accomplice.

Charming and vulnerable Joe (Josh Fadem, THE ART OF SELF DEFENSE CUFF 2019), a familiar everyman in a comfortable yet stagnant relationship with his long-time girlfriend Lux (Tipper Newton, WILD CARD CUFF 2023), spends his days selling ad space. When Joe witnesses the murder of lounge singer Whitney Bluewill (Barbara Crampton, THE LAST STOP IN YUMA COUNTY CUFF 2023) after a night out, he is inadvertently drawn into a weird, chilling web of high-tech shenanigans and good old fashioned serial murder. With EVERY HEAVY THING, Mickey Reece (CLIMATE OF THE HUNTER, CUFF 2020) sets his sights on neo-noir, bringing his own distinct twist to the ’80s techno thriller featuring a cast of familiar faces, including Vera Drew (Director of THE PEOPLE'S JOKER, CUFF 2023), taking a turn in front of the camera this time.
