"The Death of Dick Long" is a dark dramedy directed by
Daniel Scheinert (
"Swiss Army Man" co-director) from a script by
Billy Chew. The story centers on the death of the titular Dick, and the efforts of his friends Zeke (
Michael Abbott Jr.) and Earl (
Andre Hyland) to hide the fact, which proves to be an impossible task in small town Alabama, especially when we're talking about two idiots who suck at covering their tracks.
Virginia Newcomb, Sarah Baker, Jess Weixler and
Roy Wood Jr. co-star.
"The Death of Dick Long" premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival where Scheinert was nominated for the NEXT Innovator Award. It opened in select theaters on September 27, 2019, and will be released on DVD/Blu-ray/Digital on October 8th.
