IFC Midnight has released a trailer for American Fable, the directorial debut of Anne Hamilton. The ‘80s-set story takes place on a distressed Midwestern farm where an 11-year-old girl conjures a fantasy world to cope.
American Fable stars Peyton Kennedy, Richard Schiff, Kip Pardue, and Marci Miller. It opens in theaters and will be available on VOD on February 17th.
A dark, dreamlike mystery plays out amidst the expansive farmlands of the American Midwest in this wondrous, storybook thriller. With her family’s livelihood imperiled by the farm crisis of the 1980s, eleven-year-old Gitty (Peyton Kennedy) loses herself in a world of fantasy and make believe. But she stumbles into her own fairytale when she makes a startling discovery: a well-dressed mystery man (Richard Schiff) being held captive in her family’s silo. It’s the beginning of a labyrinthine journey that will turn Gitty’s world upside down and force her to question her loyalty to her own family. The feature debut from director Anne Hamilton unleashes a torrent of gorgeous, stunningly surreal images as it immerses viewers in a child’s imagination.
