Indiewire has posted the trailer and poster to ‘Hunter Gatherer,’ starring Andre Royo (“The Wire,” “Empire”) in Josh Locy’s feature directorial debut.
Ashley Douglas thinks everything should fall into place when he’s released after three years in prison. When that doesn’t happen, he restarts his life with next to nothing: no friends, no lovers, no connections. All he has is a bedroom in his mom’s house, a box of treasures buried in his backyard, and a deeply ingrained need to be with Linda — his one, true love — who has moved on without him.
Ashley sees an opportunity in the form of Jeremy, an eccentric loner. They start a two-man business of dumping unwanted refrigerators for cash, which Ashley hopes will get Linda back and Jeremy hopes will help his ailing grandfather. As their partnership takes hold, a friendship flourishes — though their fates are very much still up in the air.
The film also features Kellee Stewart, Ashley Wilkerson, and newcomer George Sample III as Jeremy.
Royo won Special Jury Award for his performance at this year’s SXSW Film Festival.
Executive produced by David Gordon Green, the film will get a USA theatrical release courtesy Rough House Pictures, starting in New York and Los Angeles on November 16, 2016, followed by a gradual national roll-out. After its theatrical run, The Orchard then will release the film on digital platforms in January.
Here’s Blackfilm.com’s exclusive with Andre Royo on his performance.
