Described as a high tension slow burn thriller, Sundance Selects/IFC Midnight president Jonathon Sehring is excited to be working with the brothers. “We’ve been big fans of Adrian and Romero Garcia Bogliano since we saw Cold Sweat. We’re thrilled to be in business with them on Penumbra, which shows them only growing stronger as filmmakers. Cristina Bondo gives an amazing performance as the Boglianos slowly and expertly turn up the dread and tension in this thrilling film.”
The film stars Cristina Brondo (below), Camila Bordonaba, Berta Muñiz, Arnaldo André, Mirella Pascual, Victoria Witemburg and Diego Cremonesi.
