One of our favourite movies of last year here at TMW was writer/director
Tyler Taormina's feature debut
Ham on Rye. His follow-up, Happer's Comet, is set to debut at the Berlin Film Festival on February 13th and a teaser
trailer and poster have been released.
Said to draw on 1960s European art cinema and 1990s kid’s TV,
Happer's Comet is a dialogue free movie that centres on the
late night occurrences in a strange suburban town.
Grace Berlino, Michael Gugliamo, Jax Terry. Brendan Burt, Brandon
Cassanova, Brianna Taormina, Christopher Maggio, Steve Plati, Ryan
McGlade
and Jenna Scalici star.
Check out the teaser and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Following his acclaimed debut HAM ON RYE, Tyler Taormina’s hypnotic follow-up is a midnight mosaic that reveals a suburban town steeped in alienation. It’s the middle of the night, but things are far from quiet; as the camera peers into the late-night happenings of various residents, we witness a number of them quietly escape into the dark... on rollerblades.
