From Sundance: "Set in an otherworldly human existence, scientist Sterling Pierce dedicated his life to the quest for immortality, slowly creating the building blocks of a groundbreaking serum named 'Divinity.' Jaxxon Pierce, his son, now controls and manufactures his father’s once-benevolent dream. Society on this barren planet has been entirely perverted by the supremacy of the drug, whose true origins are shrouded in mystery. Two mysterious brothers arrive with a plan to abduct the mogul, and with the help of a seductive woman named Nikita, they will be set on a path hurtling toward true immortality." Divinity is both written and directed by American indie filmmaker Eddie Alcazar, of the films Perfect and Tapia, as well as shorts including one called Fuckkkyouuu. This will premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival playing in the Next section. No distribution is set yet, stay tuned for updates. Anyone interested? Curious?
