Red Right Hand will be directed by Ian and Eshom Nelms, who are best known for their works on Lost on Purpose, Waffle Street, Small Town Crime, and Fatman. It will be written by Jonathan Easley.
“The film centers around on Cash (Bloom), who is trying to live an honest and quiet life, taking care of his niece Savannah in the Appalachian hills of Odim County,” reads the synopsis. “When the sadistic Queenpin Big Cat (MacDowell) who runs the town forces him back into her services, Cash learns he’s capable of anything—even killing—to protect the town and the only family he has left. As the journey gets harder, Cash is drawn into a nightmare that blurs the lines between good and evil.”
Red Right Hand is being released courtesy of Asbury Pictures and Traction. Producers are Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and Michelle Lang along with Asbury Park Pictures’ Mike Gabrawy, and Traction’s Jason Tamasco and Zak Kristofek. Taking on Executive Producer duties are Galen Smith and Marc Danon.
