Set in present-day Los Angeles, Descendent follows “Sean Bruner, a school security guard who is haunted by childhood trauma while preparing for the birth of his first child with his wife, Andrea. After a beam of light appears in the sky during a late-night shift, Sean wakes up in the hospital with an inexplicable talent for vivid, unsettling drawings of extraterrestrials and desert landscapes. As his visions blur the line between dreams and reality, Sean’s grip on sanity unravels. With time running out, he must confront his fears to escape his family’s tragic legacy.”

Ross Marquand (“The Walking Dead”) and Sarah Bolger (A Good Woman is Hard to Find, The Lazarus Effect) star.

Descendent is the feature debut by writer/director Peter Cilella, who previously starred in Benson & Moorhead’s The Endless.

“This film was a labor of love, and I could not be more thrilled to partner with RLJE Films to bring Descendent to SXSW and beyond,” writer and director Peter Cilella said in a statement previously. “It truly takes a village to bring a project like this to life, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make it possible.”
