Brand new erotic thriller Perfectly Good Moment has started its film festival run, with a world premiere at the Sarasota Film Festival in March.
This psychosexual thriller asks the question: what happens when the things that make your relationship passionate and exciting are the same things that make it toxic?
In Perfectly Good Moment, Ruby and David have been together on-and-off for 8 years, since she was 19 and he 34. Six months after Ruby last ran out on him, she has returned. Once the initial bliss of the reunion wears off, old toxic patterns re-emerge. Is David too demanding and controlling or is Ruby just too sensitive? Is Ruby as delicate and demure as she appears to be…or is there something more sinister behind the surface? Why did Ruby really come back?
The film stars Broadway’s Stephen Carlile (The Lion King) in his cinematic debut and Amanda Jane Stern (1 Angry Black Man, Lifetime’s Amish Witches). It marks Stern’s first feature screenwriting credit from a story she co-wrote with producer Julian Seltzer (HBO’s DMX: Don’t Try to Understand, and House of Hammer for Discovery+). The film features an original score by Mdou Moctar’s Mikey Coltun.
Perfectly Good Moment marks the narrative feature debut for director Lauren Greenhall, a 2021 resident at the Jewish Film Institute for her documentary Zelda, a film also sponsored by the New York Foundation of the Arts.
