Ahead of its VOD release next month, a poster and trailer have arrived online for director David Wnendt’s upcoming drama The Sunlit Night which stars Jenny Slate as an aspiring painter from New York City who travels to Norway in hope it will invigorate her work. Joining Slate in the cast are Zach Galifianakis, Alex Sharp, Fridtjov Såheim, David Paymer and Gillian Anderson; take a look here…
The Sunlit Night follows an aspiring painter (Slate) from New York City to the farthest reaches of Arctic Norway for an assignment she hopes will invigorate her work and expand her horizons. In a remote village, among the locals, she meets a fellow New Yorker (Sharp), who has come in search of a proper Viking funeral only to find that the Chief (Galifianakis) is but a re-enactor from Cincinnati. The eclectic crew ranges from “home” to “lost,” within the extreme and dazzling landscape of the Far North. Under a sun that never quite sets, and the high standards of an unforgiving mentor, Frances must navigate between ambition, desire, obligation, and risk in order to find a way forward.
