From Best of Austin Best Director winner Lisa Belcher (“Guest of Honor,” “Javelina Run”) comes an exciting debut feature: a chilling thriller about grief and cults. Writer/actor Lukas Hassel (The Blacklist) is pitch-perfect as the titular Abraham, a charismatic cult leader promising a way out of suffering, helped by his assistant Beatrice (Lin Shaye, Insidious). That’s intriguing to Dee (Natasha Henstridge, Species), haunted by the trauma of finding her mother dead as a child. She joins several others seeking solace at a secluded property, and soon learns that everything’s not as it seems. Give the film a warm Austin welcome at this red-carpet premiere with Q&A. – Kat McNevins
