Ryan J. Sloan's debut film, Gazer, will be unveiled at the 2024 Quinzaine des Cinéastes.

In Gazer, his new film selected for the Cinéastes' Fortnight 2024 to be held during the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, May 15-25, Ryan J. Sloan tells the story of a young mother with a rare brain disease who accepts the job offered by a mysterious woman...

To discover the film, you'll have to be patient if you're not lucky enough to get down to Cannes, as the film doesn't yet have a release date in French cinemas. This is the first feature film by the American director, who has so far made a single short, A Message for James (2019).

The Quinzaine des Cinéastes review: "The first film by a passionate cinephile, shot on a shoestring budget, Gazer revives the codes of the paranoid thriller of the great masters of New Hollywood, with a touch of Cronenberg-style horror. Shot on magnificent 16mm film stock, the film demonstrates an astonishing mastery of directing, cutting and editing. We follow a magnetic female character played by Ariella Mastroianni, who also co-wrote the film."
