March 26 2019 - 12:54PM
The past is a mirror by which we are forever haunted. A
grandfather’s dying wish leads one woman to confront the memories
that she has been running from most of her life in the powerful new
drama
SWELL. Based on a true story, the film
stars Summer Spiro (If Looks Could Kill, ‘Westworld'), Corbin
Bernsen (Major League, My Daddy Is In Heaven) and Adrienne Barbeau
(Argo, The Fog).
SWELL is available On
Demand, Digital and DVD March 26 from Cinedigm (NASDAQ:CIDM).
The tides of regret and redemption converge
in SWELL, a story of one woman’s journey to
mend the scars of her past. When Tess (Summer Spiro) runs away from
home at thirteen, she was forced to leave her baby brother
behind. Eighteen years later, the pain of the
decision still haunts her. When her dying grandfather (Corbin
Bernsen) requests she finds him, Tess finally confronts her past
and goes home. As the miles pass by, she finds the strength to not
only heal her heart but the hearts of those she meets along the
way.
SWELL, written and directed by Justin Lee (Big
Legend, Any Bullet Will Do), is a story that will dare you to be
inspired. SWELL also stars Kuali’l Wittman (Your
Call Is Important to Us) as the deep-thinking drifter and Brennan
Murray (‘Video Game High School’) the as lovable hitchhiker.
Gabrielle Stone (Speak No Evil, Stray) rounds out the performances
with the complex, gritty portrayal of Tess’s friend who is dealing
with her own demons.
“SWELL is our first indie drama. My
partner, Justin Lee, wrote and directed this beautifully tragic
homage to a darker chapter of his life. It was definitely out of
the box for us. Filming was an awe-inspiring experience to watch my
friend exercise his personal demons. It was cathartic. I literally
watched him change and blossom as each day of filming put the past
farther and farther behind
him." Producer Kevin Makely
SWELL was produced by Kevin Makely, Shawn
Nightingale and Andrew Garrettson. Executive producers
include Marc Gold, Edwin Pendleton Stevens and Cory Pike.
