Calgary Film 2017: SWEET VIRGINIA (Trailer)

In this neo-noir thriller, former rodeo champion Sam (Jon Bernthal, THE WALKING DEAD) has retired peacefully and set up as the owner of a motel in small-town Alaska, enjoying the peace and quiet at the edge of civilization. Until, that is, Elwood (Christopher Abbot, GIRLS) rolls in, commits a triple murder, and goes into hiding in Sam's motel. As the two get to talking, and even become friendly, this subtle and slow-burning story twists back and forth, through past and present, all the way to its high-stakes conclusion.
