    Fantasia 2020: Hunted World Premiere

    Hunted is a hybrid work of art, as much a survival film, with touches of snuff, as it could be a societal drama in the body of a classic horror film.

    "Dinner in America is my love letter to the early '90s punk scene in Lincoln, Nebraska that served as the backdrop for my formative years.
