A woman’s panicked decision to cover up an accidental killing spirals out of control when her conscience demands she return the dead man’s body to his family.
We've learned this week that Vertical Entertainment will release Blood On Her Name, the feature debut from Atlanta-based filmmaker Matthew Pope, in U.S. theaters and VOD on February 28th.
In the film, the dead body lies at her feet, its blood still draining onto the floor. It was an accident, borne of self-defense, but its discovery could have devastating consequences for local garage owner Leigh Tiller and her son.
In a panic, Leigh decides to conceal the crime, cleaning the bloody scene and scrambling to dispose of the body. But can she actually disappear a man from the earth—from his family—leaving them forever wondering? As Leigh is torn between her primal instincts and tortured conscience she struggles to keep her sins hidden from her estranged father--a cop with a long history of moral compromise --and from the keen-eyed girlfriend of the deceased.
Pope co-wrote the film alongside producer Don Thompson, and the two co-founded Rising Creek together.
Blood On Her Name stars Bethany Anne Lind (Reprisal, Ozark), Will Patton (Remember the Titans, Armageddon) and Elizabeth Röhm (American Hustle, Joy).
