Sundance U.S. Dramatic Competition: Special Jury Award to director Miles Joris-Peyrafitte for “As You Are”!!!
Variety Sundance: 19 Biggest Breakthrough Performances
(17) Owen Campbell, “As You Are”
Best known for a memorable recurring role on FX’s “The Americans,” Campbell scores a leading man breakout in first-time director Miles Joris-Peyrafitte’s haunting teen angst drama. He nails the loneliness of a young man not quite sure of his place in the world and anchors the ’90s-set bizarre love triangle. – G.B.
(18) Charlie Heaton, “As You Are”
A Brit actor soon to be seen in Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” Heaton practically channels a “Running on Empty”-era River Phoenix as the charismatic screw-up wrestling with his budding sexuality. Along with fellow breakout Campbell and “Hunger Games” veteran Amandla Stenberg, “As You Are” delivers three of the strongest teenage performances in recent memory. – G.B.
Way to go Miles, cast, and crew. I got a kick out of being on set during production, and now it’s even more exciting. I can’t wait to see the film.
As we knew you would. Congrats!
If there’s backing for Mirror: The Sequel, your poems would go just as well as Arseniy Tarkovsky’s dubbed over the army crossing the lake.
Any idea when the film will come out and is there a trailer? Really excited to see this film, it looks quite good.
No date set as yet. Hopefully late this year.
