PREMIERES DECEMBER 10TH
Penwheel Universe is excited to announce that its award-winning indie drama Depth of Field, written and directed by John F. Uranday, is set to be released on December 10th. The film had a sold-out world premiere at Harmony Gold Theatre in Los Angeles on November 21st.
This poignant story delves into the complexities of the U.S. foster care system and the transformative power of human connection.
Depth of Field follows the journey of Charles, a widower portrayed by actor Rafael Petardi (Red Notice), who has lost his will to live. His sad existence takes a dramatic turn when he befriends a spirited foster child living next door, played by newcomer Thea Saccoliti. Their unexpected bond rekindles hope and purpose in Charles’s life, exploring themes of love, resilience, and the importance of community.
“Depth of Field is a story about connection and redemption. It highlights the struggles of the foster care system while showing how a simple bond can change lives forever. I hope this film sparks conversations and inspires change” said director John F. Uranday.
The film features a stellar ensemble cast, including Ella Thomas (Nightbitch), George (The Communist Daughter), Jay Acovone (Lethal Weapon), Carrie Quinn Dolin (Family Law) and Thea Saccoliti, bringing depth and authenticity to this heartfelt narrative. Produced by Bobby Cloud and Orlin Dobreff for Penwheel Universe, Depth of Field aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by foster children and the profound impact they can have on those around them.
“As a producer and co-writer, said producer Bobby Cloud, I believe that ‘Depth of Field’ not only tells a powerful story but also sheds light on the often-overlooked experiences of foster children. Our hope is that audiences will connect with the characters and feel inspired to make a difference.”
Distributed by One Tree Entertainment, Depth of Field will be available on major platforms including Prime Video, VUDU, Google TV, and iTunes starting December 10th.
