Weird Pretty Pictures is proud to announce the online release of Sodium Party at www.sodiumparty.com.
The award-winning Irish thriller is coming hot off a successful worldwide festival run and has been described as “a modern Alice In Wonderland-esque tale” (Zombie Hamster) and “a fairy tale, an imaginary playmate, nightmares, repressed memories and home movies deliver(ing) a bag of visual tricks” (Chicago Sun Times).
Sodium Party follows Claire (Slaine Kelly; The Tutors, The O’Briens) through a harrowing childhood to university where she meets Danny (James Corscadden), a frequently intoxicated photographer who exposes her to real life through a cocktail of love and drugs. Their relationship is tested when ghosts of Claire’s tumultuous past manifest through super 8 film footage and her childhood imaginary friend, causing her world to unravel.
The film is the feature directorial debut of Irish filmmaker Michael McCudden; “It has been a crazy experience both making and sharing this film worldwide. It’s not your typical type of film, and that’s why we think people have connected with it. We are excited to finally have it readily available to anyone who wants to see it.”
The film is available in a deluxe edition with the following special features, specifically produced for this release:
-Horses To Moths: The Making of Sodium Party – An extensive behind the scenes look at the making of the film
-Audio Commentary with the director and producers
-Exhaustive Deleted Scenes
-A Conversation with Star James Corscadden
