When Viv's wealthy parents hire an interventionist to take her to rehab, the couple decides to go it alone with nothing but a suboxone prescription and each other. All they have to do is survive one harrowing night of withdrawal. As the hours tick by, physical, mental, and emotional torments send them searching through fractured memories, trying to figure out where it all went wrong. Raw, unflinching, and surprisingly funny, Withdrawal was shot on miniDV in Athens, GA for a budget of $60k. Winner of 12 awards on the festival circuit, the film is now touring independent cinemas and across North America. "the best film about addiction since ‘Requiem for a Dream’” - Film Threat “In a world where movies like this would be nominated for Oscars and BAFTAs, Evans and Michal would be taking home all the awards for their acting” - Film Fugitives “Superbly acted and jarringly raw and realistic to the core, Withdrawal offers a harsh look at drug addiction through expert filmmaking” - Film Focus SEE YOU AT THE MOVIES 🔮
