EXCLUSIVE: Ahead of this month’s Cannes virtual Marche, Clay Epstein’s Film Mode Entertainment has added to its sales slate and will be hosting the market premieres of two titles.
New on the slate is the horror-thriller pic Broil, which stars Timothy V. Murphy (Sons Of Anarchy), Jonathan Lipnicki (Jerry Maguire), Avery Konrad (Sacred Lies) and Lochlyn Munro (Scary Movie). Pic follows a defiant teen approaching her 18th birthday who is sent to live with her rich and highly controlling grandfather after she is involved in a violent incident at her school. Secluded at his opulent mansion, her suspicions about her strange family quickly grow and she begins to question the source of her family’s immense wealth and power.
