Presented digitally April 2nd and on 35mm April 9th.
Shot on vibrant 35mm with striking 16mm sequences and directed by Julie Pacino in her feature debut, I LIVE HERE NOW is a haunting, dreamlike psychodrama about identity, trauma, and the fragile line between memory and madness.
Struggling actress Rose (Lucy Fry) finds her life upended by unexpected news and is suddenly forced to confront a future she never thought possible, just as a major career opportunity with a top agent comes into view. Things spiral further when her casual boyfriend brings his overbearing mother (Sheryl Lee) into the fold, pushing Rose to the brink.
She flees to The Crown Inn, a crumbling motel at the edge of nowhere, where time fractures and reality bends. Haunted by sleep paralysis, splintered memories, and eerie motel dwellers (including the enigmatic Lillian, played by Madeline Brewer), Rose begins to unravel. To move forward, she must confront the buried truth of her past that her body has never forgotten.
