Lost Holiday

description

Home for the holidays with nothing to do, two old high school friends get in over their heads when they try to solve the kidnapping of a Washington D.C. socialite. What starts as a night of debauchery evolves into a self-indulgent quest when the two become convinced that they are the only ones who can solve the case. LOST HOLIDAY is a dark comedy that follows a New York social worker who finds herself embroiled in a noirish tale of kidnapping, drugs and murder on the outskirts of America's capital. Shot on 16mm in an improvisational mumblecore style, the film features an indie all-star cast including Kate Lyn Sheil (CUFF.Docs 2016 selection KATE PLAYS CHRISTINE, THE COLOR WHEEL, THE COMEDY), Keith Poulson (LISTEN UP PHILLIP, (CUFF 2016 selection LACE CRATER), Thomas Matthews (AMERICAN HUSTLE), Joshua Leonard (HUMPDAY) and William Jackson Harper (THE GOOD PLACE) and music from James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins, A Perfect Circle),
