LOS ANGELES - July 2, 2020 - Kinetic is a five minute proof of concept sci-fi superhero film shot on location in Indiana and stars veteran TV actor Amy Davidson (8 Simple Rules) as Aunt Drea and new talent, Violet Brinson (Sharp Objects).
Brinson plays fourteen-year-old Jess, who struggles through the changes of puberty in the absence of her mother. But when one of those changes turns out to be telekinesis, her small-town criminal family exploits her new powers to their ends. As Jess's powers grow, so do the rewards and the danger.
Writer-Director Kylie Eaton Kinetic feature script was a finalist in the 2019 ScreenCraft Sci-Fi Competition. She was the recipient of the Mary Shelley Award at Other Worlds 2019. Eaton is a passionate advocate for female representation behind the camera and aims to join the handful of women creating content in the comic superhero space.
"In a world dominated by Marvel, DC, and other big comic franchises, the audience is yearning to see original content for the action-sci-fi-superhero genre. Not only does KINETIC present a new superhero in Jess, but the story is steeped in mythology and backstory that is slowly revealed throughout the script, and leaves enough open questions after a satisfying conclusion that will leave the audience wanting to know more about the world, Jess, her powers and her family."
