The saying goes that best laid plans often go awry, at the simple idea goes to unexpected places in “Back At The Staircase.” The film from co-writer and director Drew Britton will make its World Premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival, where its knife edge tension will surely turn some heads.
Starring Jennifer Lafleur, Stephen Plunkett, Leonora Pitts, Mickey O’Hagan, Logan Lark, and Heather LaVine, the film brings together five unique individuals for a party, but their true selves emerge when one of them gets into an accident. Here’s the official synopsis:
Barbara had arranged a pre-party dinner for her two daughters and two nephews: Tomorrow was to be the big celebration for her youngest daughter’s arson charges being dropped on a technicality. But after too many drinks, Barbara fell down the stairs, cracked her head open, and is now in a coma. Unaware of how long they’ll be trapped together waiting for the doctor’s call, the four estranged individuals’ true selves slowly begin to surface.
“Back At The Staircase” will premiere at Slamdance on Friday, January 19th at 2:45 PM at the Ballroom.
