Drama and horror film festival favorite, The Buildout, is set to be released On Demand and all streaming platforms later this month. Well, all I can say is big brother Bloody Disgusting called it a stunning, genre-bending odyssey into the unknown.” Ok. Enjoy.
Something is happening in the desert. The epicenter is a strange tent, humming with an imbued esoteric energy. What is found within its walls is incomprehensible.
We first meet Dylan and Cameron as they barrel deeper into the desert. One knows exactly where they’re going, the other one is doing their best to be a good friend.
On a road trip fueled by junk food and documented by a handheld camera, the women traverse a landscape that feels more like Mars than Earth – the California Desert. This is their last chance to get back – back to what they used to be. Today, they are but mere fragments of their former selves; weighed down by the looming presence of a shared tragedy.
A story of rebirth, recovery, closure, and accountability propelled forward by an esoteric conduit. This women-led narrative follows the tectonic shift of a friendship over one fateful day. In the face of the unexplained, they lean into their truest selves and come face-to-face with an unnerving discovery.
You know I complain when a trailer gives you too much and guess what I’m going to complain when it’s confusing and disjointed and gives absolutely nothing- sigh.
The Buildout is out on all VOD platforms February 25th.
