During a pandemic, a pregnant restaurateur plots to rob a priceless truffle from a reclusive veteran in Peppergrass, picked up by Black Fawn Distribution following the film’s recent world premiere at Nightmares Film Festival in Columbus, Ohio.
“Set during the pandemic, Peppergrass is a snow-streaked Northern Gothic heist set against a stark unforgiving landscape,” notes the press release. “With striking cinematography and a dark sensibility, the film captures a rough rural tone that enhances the danger of isolation and the pressure of high stakes.”
It stars Chantelle Han, Charles Boyland, Michael Copeman, Philip Williams and Craig Porritt.
Han also serves on the directing team with the film’s writer, Steven Garbas.
Peppergrass is slated for release in early 2022. A new trailer, poster (designed by Geneva Haley), and a selection of stills have just been released as the first full look at the suspenseful thriller.
