The Hamilton Film Group and Cinema Guild are proud to present the US Theatrical release of PUTTY HILL, the new film by Matt Porterfield, starring the 18-year-old sultry electro-pop newcomer, Sky Ferreira. An official Selection of the Berlin International Film Festival and SXSW, among many others, PUTTY HILL, will open in New York at Cinema Village on February 18. A national release will follow.
A beautifully realized portrait of a close-knit community on the outskirts of Baltimore, PUTTY HILL is the second feature from celebrated young filmmaker Matt Porterfield (HAMILTON). At a neighborhood karaoke bar, friends and family gather to remember a young man who passed away. Knowing little about his final days, they attempt to reconstruct his life. In the process, they offer a window onto their own lives, an evocative picture of working-class America, dislocated from the progress and mobility around them, but united in pursuit of a shared dream. Exquisitely shot and employing surprising documentary techniques, PUTTY HILL, is one of the most exciting American indie films in years.
