New York, NY. – April 11, 2019 – Dystopian sci-fi thriller “Perfect” from writer and director Eddie Alcazar, will premiere in theaters in New York at Village East Cinemas May 17th and in Los Angeles at Laemmle Ahrya Fine Arts May 24th, followed by a VOD launch exclusively on Breaker.io June 21st. Described by The Hollywood Reporter as a “a sensory trip wrapped around a kind of Frankenstein tale”, “Perfect” is a visually rich mind-bender starring Garrett Wareing (“Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists”), Courtney Eaton (“Mad Max: Fury Road”), Tao Okamoto (“The Wolverine”) with Maurice Compte (“Narcos”) and Abbie Cornish (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”).
Produced and scored by Flying Lotus and executive-produced by Steven Soderbergh, “Perfect” introduces Garrett Wareing as an emotionally troubled young man. His mother (Abbie Cornish) sends him to a clinic, where modernist serenity whispers soothing promises of perfection. By planting plug-and-play characteristics directly into his own body, he is relieved of his dark, twisted visions, but his body pays the price for purity of mind. A festival favorite (SXSW, Sitges Film Festival, Brooklyn Horror Film Festival) from writer and director Eddie Alcazar – one of Filmmaker’s 25 to Watch.
“Perfect” is produced by Brainfeeder Films, a partnership between Flying Lotus and Eddie Alcazar, as a division of the forward-thinking Brainfeeder label that launched Flying Lotus, Kamasi Washington, and Thundercat.
As Flying Lotus comments: “Brainfeeder’s film division was created to build an infrastructure for the talents of the new avant-garde, the new left field, the NEXT new wave. Lotus. ‘Perfect’ is one of several collaborations I’ve worked on with Eddie Alcazar, and I’m so glad that this unique vision is ready to make its way into this world.”
