Get ready for a thrilling ride with a twist!
The beloved 'Cougar Town' actor Dan Byrd is stepping into a new role, taking the lead in the upcoming indie thriller 'Autobiography'. But this isn't your typical Hollywood story.
Byrd portrays Bryce, a struggling writer whose high school reunion becomes a chilling encounter. Instead of the anticipated reunion with an old bully, he meets Jeb, an enigmatic intruder with a dark secret. Jeb has penned a manuscript—a twisted autobiography of Bryce's life—that foretells a violent future, and Bryce is unaware of its existence!
This thought-provoking thriller delves into the blurred lines between reality and fiction in the digital age. How much control do we have over our own narratives?
The film marks the directorial debut of the creative duo Jennifer Downes and John Pena Griswold, known as The Married Brothers. They are no strangers to the industry, having written the script themselves.
The cast is a powerhouse of talent. Devika Bhise, recognized for her roles in 'The Man Who Knew Infinity' and 'The Warrior Queen of Jhansi', plays Bryce's wife. Sam Gilroy, from 'Michael Clayton' and 'The Bourne Legacy', portrays the mysterious Jeb. And that's not all—Jeremie Harris, known for his work in 'Legion' and 'Fargo', and Gus Birney from 'Black Rabbit' and 'Shining Vale', add to the star-studded ensemble.
But here's where it gets intriguing: the film's synopsis hints at a deeper, philosophical question. In a world where our lives are curated for social media, where every experience is crafted for public consumption, what happens when someone hijacks your personal narrative?
'Autobiography' is currently in production in Orange, New Jersey, with Nicole Townsend producing. The film is expected to make waves at the American Film Market, leaving audiences eager to witness this unique thriller.
