TORRENT
26/10
After a traumatic incident during his residency, young medical student James Hayman (Namir Smallwood) moves to a rural hospital to start over. Dr. Harrison (stage and acting veteran Michael Potts) notices that James is struggling and having trouble connecting with patients, and suggests he take a course focused on bedside manner and facilitating deeper relationships with patients. The demons of James’ past begin to catch up with him when he becomes consumed by the case of a young asthma patient (Sidney Flanigan, NEVER RARELY NEVER ALWAYS) with mysterious symptoms. His grip on reality begins to slip as his disturbing nightmares, anxiety-fueled speculations and physical injuries collide with the harsh realities of the medical world. Director Alex Thompson has assembled a strong ensemble of veteran actors for his sequel to SAINT FRANCES – and predecessor GHOSTLIGHT – in this unconventional, humanistic take on the genre.
