Production has wrapped on indie psychological thriller Impossible Monsters, starring Santino Fontana, who voiced Hans in Frozen and played Greg on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
Here, The Hollywood Reporter provides a first look at the movie, from first-time filmmaker Nathan Catucci, via two exclusive images.
The film follows Fontana’s psychology professor Dr. Rich Freeman, who conducts an intense sleep study that could result in a lucrative grant. But when one of the participants is found dead, homicide detectives begin investigating and the professor makes a frightening discovery.
“Through the characters’ dreams and reality, the film explores how quickly aspiration and ambition, gone unchecked, can spiral out of control,” Catucci said in a statement. “I was thrilled to work with such a talented and amazing cast and production team on my first film. I can’t wait for audiences to experience the carefully crafted story that is wrapped in a cloud of fantasy.”
Catucci — who wrote, directed and produced Impossible Monsters — won the 2016 Panavision new filmmaker grant, giving him the opportunity to work with professional-grade equipment on his first feature.
