Oklahoma Premiere

Director Kat Candler won Best Narrative Short at last year’s deadCENTER Film Festival for Black Metal and also screened the short film Hellion here before debuting the feature at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Hellion is a portrait of a family on the brink of dissolution set against the haunting backdrop of the refineries of Southeast Texas and stars Emmy Award winner Aaron Paul and Oscar nominee Juliette Lewis, who was in Oklahoma last summer filming August: Osage County. Obsessed with metal music and motocross, the actions of 13-year-old Jacob raise concerns for his widowed father, his aunt and especially his younger brother.
