Blackfilm.com has been provided with an exclusive clip from SACRIFICE, which will have it’s world premiere at Woodstock Film Festival 2014 and will also open theatrically in NY, LA and major cities in early 2015.
Sacrifice represents the first production of JuntoBox, the boldly innovative company co-founded and chaired by Oscar winner Forest Whittaker to develop, produce, and distribute American independent films. The film, which was written and directed by Michael Cohn, stars Dermot Mulroney, Melora Walters, Luke Kleintank, Brandon Smith, James McDaniel and Austin Abrams.
The film is executive produced by Nina Yang Bongiovi (FRUITVALE STATION) and JuntoBox founder, Philippe Caland and produced by Joseph Semense and Jeanine Rohn.
HANK (Luke Kleintank) is a handsome, multi-talented high school student who has just led his football team to a stunning victory during the biggest game of the season. Eager scouts are circling and Hank’s blue-collar parents, (played by Dermott Mulroney and Melora Walters), are counting on their golden boy to win a scholarship to a good college so he can enjoy a brighter future, far away from their hardscrabble life in Texas. Their younger son, TIM (Austin Abrams) more of a loser than a winner, idolizes his older brother and persuades Hank and his friends, KAZ (Brandon Smith) and BENNY (Lewis Tan), to let him tag along on their celebratory hunting trip. It is a decision they soon regret. Tim’s immature behavior after an accidental shooting leads to a series of bad decisions, a second wave of tragedy, and a hasty cover-up. Hank finds himself at the center of a desperate and rapidly deteriorating situation that tests his moral compass and threatens to destroy his family… and his dream.
