Wilderness synopsis

Deliciously twisted thriller starring Jenna Coleman and Oliver Jackson-Cohen. Liv and Will seem to have it all. A rock-solid marriage. A glamorous new life in New York. Until Liv learns about the affair. Enter the American road trip she’s fantasised about. For Will, it’s a chance to make amends. For Liv, it’s a very different prospect – a landscape where accidents happen all the time. The perfect place to get revenge.

Marnie Dickens

Notably, she produced the acclaimed Icelandic feature Salt (2003) with her husband, Bradley Rust Gray. So’s 2006 recognition as one of “25 Filmmakers to Watch” by Filmmaker Magazine foreshadowed her successful career. Her debut film, In Between Days (2006), earned Sundance’s Special Jury Prize in 2007, and her subsequent work, like Treeless Mountain (2008), continued to captivate with its insightful exploration of characters and unique storytelling. Kim’s contributions were also showcased in the omnibus film Chinatown Film Project (2009).
