Big Indie Pictures will be sponsoring both the AFF Film Competition’s Narrative Feature Award and Fellowship, as well as the Script Competition’s Big Indie Pictures Screenwriter Fellowship.

Alexander Skarsgard, Paul Sparks, Alison Pill and Tracy Letts also star in a drama about the collateral casualties of murder and the limits of faith as an all-purpose healer.

Michael Shannon’s directorial debut “Eric LaRue” beautifully unpacks how the sins of the son impact both the father and mother in his adaptation of Brett Neveu’s 2002 play of the same name.

Eric Larue is an intense and devastating account of the after effects of a school shooting, but the focus is almost entirely on the parents of that boy who shot and killed three male classmates and is now in prison.
