► Society of Snow<br />

In 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which had been chartered<br />

to fly a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes. Only<br />

29 of its 45 passengers survived the accident. Trapped in one of the<br />

most hostile and inaccessible environments on the planet, they have<br />

to resort to extreme measures to stay alive. Society of the Snow, also<br />

known as La Sociedad de la Nieve in Spanish, is directed by acclaimed<br />

Spanish producer / filmmaker J.A. Bayona, director of the films The<br />

Orphanage, The Impossible, A Monster Calls, and Jurassic World.<br />

Based on the acclaimed 2014 short film by Rod Blackhurst & Bryce<br />

baseball player forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness,<br />

who moves into a new home with his concerned wife Eve (Oscar<br />

nominee Kerry Condon), teen daughter Izzy (Amélie Hoeferle) and<br />

young son Elliot (Gavin Warren). Secretly hoping, against the odds, to<br />

return to pro ball, Ray persuades Eve that the new home’s shimmering<br />

backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids and provide physical<br />

therapy for him. But a dark secret in the home’s past will unleash a<br />

malevolent force that will drag the family under, into the depths of<br />

inescapable terror. Night Swim is written & directed by up-and-coming<br />

filmmaker Bryce McGuire.<br />
