Utopia proudly presents I Live Here Now, the feature film debut from writer/director Julie Pacino, who will be joining us after the movie for an in-person Q&A!
The story follows Rose, an aspiring actress, checks into a remote California motel, seeking solace from the chaos of her life. But the walls of the motel pulse with the echoes of her past, with each room a distorted reflection of her fears, desires and regrets. As reality warps and fractures, Rose must confront the haunting specters of her trauma, identity and the oppressive forces that have shaped her existence.
I Live Here Now is described as a visually arresting journey into the labyrinth of the female psyche. Shot on 35mm, it blends surrealist horror with psychological depth, drawing comparisons to Lynchian narratives and films like Black Swan.
