"I prefer to suffer." Utopia has revealed an official US trailer for Saul at Night, a quirky indie sci-fi drama marking the feature debut of filmmaker Cory Santilli. This originally premiered in 2019 at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, and is opening in the US this week on VOD for anyone interested. In Saul at Night, a mandatory sleep schedule has been enforced worldwide with one outlier who is forced to become acclimated to isolation in a bizarre experiment. He invents new ways to connect with his sleeping family. Starring Kentucker Audley as Saul, with Suzanne Clément, Stephanie Ellis, and Acadia Colan. Described as a "carefully drawn study of human nature and the nature of connections to both loved ones and strangers." This looks much darker & more dramatic than I was expecting, but I'm still curious to see what it's all about.

Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Cory Santilli's Saul at Night, direct from Utopia's YouTube:

As a result of a bizarre experiment, Saul Capgras is forced to become acclimated to a life of isolation at night, while the rest of the city is restricted to sleep and a mandated curfew. Saul is the only person left awake at night, and, while living with his wife & daughter, must discover inventive ways to experience their lives. Saul at Night is directed by up-and-coming filmmaker filmmaker Cory Santilli, making his feature directorial debut after a number of short films previously. The screenplay is written by Daniel Miska. This initially premiered at the 2019 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival a few years back. Utopia will finally debut Santilli's Saul at Night direct-to-VOD (including Altavod) starting January 18th, 2022 this winter.
