Murtagh is joined in the cast by Bobby Gilchrist (Queen Sugar), Jamie Neumann (Lovecraft Country), Marco Dapper (The Young and the Restless), Erika Ashley (The Trees Remember), Gralen Bryant Banks (The Banker), and Zardis Nichols (American Violet).
Shapeless marks the feature directorial debut of Aldana, and is also the first feature written by both Murtagh and Parsons-Twesten. Aldana and Parsons-Twesten previously worked together on a short film called The Melancholy Man. In addition to The Melancholy Man, Aldana has also directed short films titled Sunday Water, Con Vex, Si, Porcelain, and These Wild Things.
Coming to us from Water Meter Productions, Shapeless was produced by Murtagh and Gilchrist, alongside Lizzie Guitreau, William Ramsey, Brian C. Miller Richard, and R. Todd Campbell.
This movie looks interesting to me, and also seems like it’s going to be quite intense and disturbing. The reviews that came out of the Tribeca premiere weren’t a wave of raves, but it sounds like the movie is worth a look so I’ll probably be watching Shapeless sometime in February.
