Writer/director/editor Aaron Strand scheduled to join for an in-person intro and Q&A. Raw, unflinching, and surprisingly funny, WITHDRAWAL was shot on miniDV in Athens, GA for a budget of $60k and is a prime example of indie filmmaking at its finest.
Artistic lovers Viv (Millie Rose Evans) and Jay (Brent Michal) are trapped in a vicious cycle of codependent heroin addiction. When Viv's wealthy parents hire an interventionist to take her to rehab, the couple decides to go it alone with nothing but a suboxone prescription and each other. All they have to do is survive one harrowing night of withdrawal. As the hours tick by, physical, mental, and emotional torments send them searching through fractured memories, trying to figure out where it all went wrong.
