Dylan O'Brien ("Twinless", "Send Help") and Hudson Williams ("Heated Rivalry") are set to star in the darkly comedic thriller "Apparatus", which marks the feature directorial debut of Canadian actress Sofia Banzhaf from a script she co-wrote alongside Grayson Moore ("Cardinals"). Banzhaf previously directed the short film "I Am in the World as Free and Slender as a Deer on a Plain", which premiered at TIFF and made the festival's Top 10 list for shorts.
The film follows struggling young rideshare driver Tyler (Williams) as he falls under the influence of a self-styled entrepreneur, JP (O'Brien), who offers him a future in his handheld-massager business. But what appears to be a dream opportunity unravels as JP pulls Tyler into a violent downward spiral.
Banzhaf & Moore also produce alongside Julie Baldassi of Younger Daughter Films ("Darkest Miriam"), Daniel Bekerman of Scythia Films ("The Apprentice"), and Brian Robertson. Sam Sutcliffe and Jasmin Karibzhanova of Ursa Major Films are co-financing alongside Nicholas Chepesiuk of Gabardine, Telefilm Canada and Mongrel Media, with WME Independent and CAA Media Finance co-repping the film for sales.
O'Brien can next be seen starring alongside Ruth Madeley and Mark Ruffalo in Apple's "Being Heumann" from Sian Heder ("CODA"). Williams can also be seen in Netflix's FTX series "The Altruists", and the second season of "Heated Rivalry", which premieres next year in April.
