Before she became the female lead on Outer Banks, Netflix’s latest global TV phenomenon, Madelyn Cline reaffirmed her love for independent film on the set of David Raboy’s The Giant. Shot in the summer of 2018, Cline plays Olivia, who’s desperately trying to look after her grieving best friend, Charlotte (Odessa Young), as a series of murders rocks their small Southern town. One of The Giant’s many strengths is the small-town atmosphere that Raboy captured through the use of natural light, and soft-spoken dialogue, which brings each location’s diegetic sounds to the fore. Cline also credits the film’s eerie vibe to ...

Dream a Little Dream: Raboy Broods on Bruised Memories with Moody, Slender Narrative
Crackling thunder, roiling clouds on a purple sky and electric tendrils of lightning illuminating sweaty, nubile skin set the mood for a painstaking memory poem (or a Bob Seger tune) in The Giant, the directorial debut of David Raboy, based on his own 2012 short of the same title. What begins as a dark odyssey of one young woman grappling with a traumatic past and how it relates to a concurrent killing spree slowly stagnates into an exercise which seems to be a bit more metaphorical.…...

On the night of her graduation, a young woman comes face to face with some very grim circumstances. That’s the central plot of the new drama The Giant, directed by David Raboy in his debut as director and writer. The girl in question is Charlotte (Shirley star Odessa Young), whose former boyfriend returns to her small town. After being presumed dead, his return brings about a lot of questions for Charlotte, intensified by the fact that local girls begin to go missing.
The trailer for the film, which has just arrived ahead of a release next month, features some really striking close-ups, intensifying the horror that it is hinting at throughout.

Often, the life of a flight attendant is thought to be pretty great. Sure, you have to act as a server while on the actual flights, dealing with idiot guests, crying babies, and disgusting messes. But the perk is pretty great, as you are able to travel all around the country, or even internationally. That said, the life of a flight attendant might also include murder, as seen in the upcoming HBO Max thriller series, aptly titled, “The Flight Attendant.”

"There's something about this summer that brings the past back to life..." Vertical has released an official trailer for The Giant, a murder mystery thriller that initially premiered at last year's Toronto Film Festival. Odessa Young stars as a teenager about to graduate in a small town, whose life is changed forever when a series of murders begin on the same night that her missing boyfriend suddenly reappears. "Charlotte gets the unshakeable feeling that somehow it is coming for her – in ways more troubling than she could ever know." Also stars Ben Schnetzer, Jack Kilmer, Madelyn Cline, Danny Ramirez, and Pj Marshall. There's tons of dark, grainy, close-ups in this - which is annoying but it's a style choice. I'm most intrigued by the evil force, and that shot in the rain because it is a terrifying shot. Horror fans need to check this out. Here's the first official trailer...

An English-language film adaptation of Japanese video game “Root Letter,” starring Danny Ramirez, is in production in the U.S. through Akatsuki Entertainment USA. Besides Ramirez, the film stars Keana Marie and Lydia Hearst.
With a screenplay by David Ebeltoft (2016 Tribeca Film Festival’s “Here Alone”), the film is intended as a gritty re-imagining of the game’s core story of a protagonist in search of a former pen pal who disappears under curious circumstances.
The underlying Kadokawa-published game has two main gameplay sequences. First, the player interrogates people who knew the missing girl. Then the player relives the missing years and makes use of clues gathered earlier.
The game was first published in 2016 and has been made available on platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Microsoft Windows, Android and iOS. It sold more than 400,000 copies in Japan and overseas, and is also available on Steam and Nintendo Switch.

Places, objects, sounds, and smells each retain shimmers of memory we long to hold and struggle to forget. This is what’s happened to Charlotte’s (Odessa Young) childhood home—the place where her mother took her own life. Whether she hasn’t thought of it in a long time or it’s all she ever thinks about, this moment right now sees it taking control of her senses and refusing to let go. The lights in these nightmares extend out in a hazy blur, everything so much bigger and mesmerizingly essential due to the weight of the pain wrought within. This building is the death of her mother, but the town where she still resides is the death of her youth. As graduation and escape looms, everything good suddenly begins to decay.

First-time feature director-writer-editor David Raboy certainly knows how to conjure up an atmosphere. Expanding his own short of the same title, Raboy’s elliptical psychological thriller “The Giant” gives us the story of a small Southern town beset by a killing spree, yet his real interest is in the constant changes in barometric pressure: the heaviness of the sticky, buggy Georgia air; the gathering storm that builds and builds just over the horizon for the entirety of the film. But he lays the atmosphere on so think that it threatens to suffocate everything within, and the film holds its audience at such a remove that eventually you stop trying to connect.
Containing little in the way of linear plot, “The Giant” is always willing to leave its viewers in the dark, often quite literally: much of the film (shot on 35 mm by Eric Yue) takes place in grainy darkness, and...

David Raboy makes his feature debut with ‘The Giant,” which makes its world premiere in the Toronto festival’s Discovery section. Raboy wrote, directed and edited the atmospheric, suspenseful thriller that also plays with supernatural elements in a hot, humid small southern town. The movie’s journey began in 2010, when Raboy began writing the short “The Giant,” and it evolved over the decade.
Talk about the film’s journey to its feature-length incarnation.
I started writing in 2010. It took a long time for me to feel that it was in the right place.
I made a short then another short and I felt that it was a language that I was chasing that I hadn’t figured out how to fully bring to life. It took some time to get that right.
To this day I don’t know if I am fully satisfied!

Exclusive: Former Creative Circle COO and Co-Founder Dennis Masel’s new film production company Camera Ready Pictures will kick off their launch with their first feature The Giant which will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Based in New York City and Los Angeles, Camera Ready Pictures has set its second feature Hell House which will start principal photography in October. Both films are character-driven arthouse thrillers which go in line with the company’s vision of boundary-pushing cinema.
“Technology and distribution models surrounding storytelling have changed,” said Masel. “Camera Ready’s interest is in stewarding the original French notion of ‘cinema’ alongside those changes, making sure aesthetic and intellectual excellence keep time with technological innovation, and ensuring that artists who are formally responding to these shifts in film language are strongly supported and loudly heard.”
The Giant is a coming-of-age horror film written and directed by David Raboy.

Madrid — The San Sebastian Intl. Film Festival announced at a press conference on Tuesday morning the fourteen projects selected to participate in this year’s Kutxabank New Directors section at the northern Spanish festival.
Of the participating films, eight are debuts and six are second works, three of the latter from semi-new filmmakers who previously participated in New Directors with their debut features. Notably, this year’s selection includes eight films from nine women filmmakers, a statistic which challenges the selections made by other, similarly-profiled festivals in their competition selections.
The number of returning directors suggests a usefulness of participating in the section. New Directors consolidated as the festival’s major sidebar, whose world premieres often go on to have a vigorous festival circuit career and break out at times to notable foreign territory sales.
