Great Trailer for Romantic Drama PARACHUTE; Brittany Snow's Directorial Debut
A great trailer has been released for the romantic drama Parachute, the directorial debut of actress Brittany Snow, from a script co-written by Snow and Becca Gleason. The film stars Courtney Eaton (Mad Max: Fury Road, Yellowjackets) as Riley and Thomas Mann (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, Lessons in Chemistry) as Ethan, with Francesca Reale, Gina Rodriguez, Joel McHale, Dave Bautista, and Scott Mescudi.
The film’s synopsis reads:
In Parachute, Riley (Courtney Eaton) is a fun and energetic young woman, but struggles with an eating disorder and body image issues. Ethan (Thomas Mann) is a once-promising musician in the end of his 20s. The two meet and just "click." To Ethan, all of Riley's flaws are beautiful, he wants to help her see herself the way he does. Riley adores Ethan and is inspired by his talent and selflessness. Their relationship is a balancing act between their love for each other and their combustible personal issues. But they truly feel like soulmates and the world makes sense only when they take it on together.
This looks like an excellent watch. I love a good romantic drama, and I love these actors, so I am looking forward to watching this film. Parachute originally premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival one year ago. It also played at the Dallas, Woodstock, Raindance, and Denver Film Festivals last year. Check out the trailer below, and watch the film when it’s released in select US theaters on April 5th.
