The Buildout, a harrowing festival favorite, arrives on VOD this February. This hypnotic character piece has captivated audiences. It reveals something strange lurking in the desert, and its contents are incomprehensible.
The film sees Dylan and Cameron ride deep into the almost alien-like California desert. Their road trip is documented with a handheld camera. They are on a journey to reclaim their former selves. However, a shared tragedy weighs them down, and they are mere fragments of who they once were.
The Buildout explores rebirth and recovery, closure, and accountability. This woman-led narrative follows a friendship’s transformation over one fateful day. Faced with the unexplained, the characters must embrace their true selves and confront an unnerving discovery.
The Buildout, written and directed by Zeshaan Younus and starring Jenna Kanell and Hannah Allin, blends found footage and traditional storytelling. It features strong, capable, and unapologetic characters. Natasha Halevi, Michael Sung Ho, and Danielle Evon Ploeger round out the cast. HorrorFuel’s Joseph Perry compliments the cast, saying they gave “top-notch performances” in his spoiler-free review.
Prepare for a hypnotic character study that will have audiences worldwide on the edge of their seats when it debuts on Video on Demand from Ethos Releasing on February 25.
