The independent film festival Slamdance is taking place from January 27th to February 6th, 2022. With over 100 film productions, and with the very attractive subscription price of $10, it offers a taste of the alternative scene of the current year. One of the most notorious titles is Honeycomb (2022), a movie centering on five girls stray from society on the hunt for something more special, and you can find them if you follow the sound.
In the mundane hours of early summer, five girls sulk in their own boredom waiting for something. When Willow stumbles upon a seemingly abandoned cabin, she begins fantasizing about the life she and the girls could have there. Leader, Jules, Vicky, and Millie pack their bags and whisper a quick goodbye to the life they knew. They flow through open fields, blissfully entering their new sun-soaked world. The girls push for a meaning that is hardly there, struggling to reach out, grab it, and lock it in a box. Sometimes the girls find themselves feeling as though they were more free before.
This is the debut feature film of the writer, producer, editor, and director Avalon Fast after a few short films. It is considered a slow mindless space that has been written with borderless rules and time to fill, in a tone that can remind of Midsommar (2019).
Honeycomb (2022) is starring Rowan Wales, Sophie Bawks-Smith, Jillian Frank, Destini Stewart, Mari Geraghty, Henri Gillespi, Jaris Wales, Emmett Roiko, Max Graham, Kyle Watson, and Reily Houlihan.
Honeycomb (2022) is having now its world premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival. Here you can watch its official trailer.
