RESENTMENT
A man walks into a bar to talk about a film. Another man waits to get him to confess. A woman watches to see that he doesn’t. Over the course of a long, booze-filled night, everyone is going to say what someone doesn’t want to hear.
A taut, witty chamber drama starring Lawrence Gilliard Jr. (The Wire, The Walking Dead), Patch Darragh (Succession), and Jen Ponton (Not Suitable For Work) Resentment asks what would happen if we finally let go of our resentments, and tried to live with the truth, however ugly it might sound.
Resentment is distributed by Buffalo 8, and is available to rent now on Amazon, Fandango at Home and other major platforms.
