Ahead of today's TIFF world premiere at the Scotiabank Theatre, director David Raboy shared a first look clip and photo (above) from his debut film, the coming-of-age thriller The Giant. You can watch the clip below.
Rising Australian actress Odessa Young (A Million Little Pieces) headlines the cast as Charlotte, a teenager whose small-town life is changed forever when a series of murders begin on the same night that her missing boyfriend suddenly reappears.
"When her first love suddenly reappears in her small Georgia town the same night that a series of killings begin, Charlotte is forced to reconcile her past and present, her traumas and nostalgia, as it becomes increasingly clear that her life is at risk in ways she never imagined."
Young joined by Ben Schnetzer (Pride), Jack Kilmer (Lords of Chaos, The Nice Guys) and Madelyn Cline (Boy Erased).
Former Creative Circle COO Dennis Masel's new production company Camera Ready Pictures is behind the film with Bogie Films' Daniel Dewes, Rachael Fung (Little Woods), and French production outfit Vixens.
UTA is handling domestic sales at the Toronto International Film Festival.
