Bulldog Film Distribution is proud to announce that the heartfelt coming-of-age drama Over/Under, executive produced by Cooper Raiff (Cha Cha Real Smooth, Hal & Harper), will be available digitally in the UK & Ireland from 24th August, and in the US & Canada from 25th August.
It’s the summer of 2002. Violet and Stella are nine-years old and inseparable. They spend their days playing in waves, catching butterflies, sending wishes to fairies, and spying on nude adults at the beach. But then, the summer ends. Stella has friends back home, but would rather talk with them about mermaids than tampons.
A lonely Violet attracts the attention of a vicious bully, while silently processing her changing body. Over the next few summers, the girls come together, but puberty, boys, family trauma, and the desire to “fit in” all begin to threaten the magic of their friendship. Over/Under is a story of innocence and loss of innocence. Violet and Stella teach us about the deepest kind of friendship, and remind us just how delicate childhood really is.
This film has received acclaim from a variety of prestigious outlets. The Hollywood Reporter called it “a bittersweet film that captures universal truths about the bumpy path toward adulthood that should strike resonant chords, especially with young women audiences.”
Loud and Clear Reviews praised it as “a heart-warming and moving film that proves director Sophia Silver is one to watch,” while Arthouse Garage applauded Emajean Bullock and Anastasia Veronica Lee’s performances as “stunning.”
The cast of Over/Under is led by Emajean Bullock in her feature film debut, alongside Anastasia Veronica Lee (Fresh Kills), Adam David Thompson (A Teacher), Madeline Wise (So Help Me Todd), Brandon Keener (The Pitt) and Christiane Seidel (The Queen’s Gambit).
Over/Under will be available on digital platforms in the UK & Ireland from 24 August, and in the US & Canada from 25 August.
