Metrograph Pictures’ GAZER

 

 

“Focus. What do you see?” Afflicted with a rare and fatal condition that affects her ability to perceive time and causes sudden blackouts, single mother Frankie Rhodes relies on self-recorded cassette tapes to help her navigate the world. Desperate to make ends meet while she fights for custody of her young daughter, she accepts a risky but high-paying job from a mysterious woman, which draws her into a world of paranoid conspiracies that threatens to swallow her whole.

Shot on nights and weekends over the course of two years, GAZER finds first-time filmmaker Ryan J. Sloan and his co-writer and star Ariella Mastroianni bringing the paranoid thriller genre into wildly original new territory. They deliver a relentless and riveting neo-noir where truth and nightmares become intertwined, as Frankie must fight against a ticking clock to do all she can for her daughter as she becomes sucked into an increasingly unhinged and unstable reality.
