Synopsis

HOLD is a tense, spare, and lean drama about a young couple’s relationship in the aftermath of a violent home invasion. Featuring no musical score and filmed in claustrophobic closeups, it investigates the frailty of the hero complex by putting a microscope on American paranoia.  A 2010 Venice Days candidate, 2010 top 20 IFP Narrative Labs Finalist, and 2011 Langdon Review of the Arts recipient, HOLD was proclaimed “one of the best films of the year” (CINEMALOGUE), “bold, stark, and unflinching” (UK CINEHOUSE), “a practically flawless piece of filmmaking” (PEGASUS NEWS), and “daring and well made” (GORDON AND THE WHALE).  It had its theatrical premiere in spring 2011 at the ReRun Theater in Brooklyn, NYC, and is now proud to be released by Fifth Column Features.
