Frequent collaborators and best friends since film school Jordan Ross and Cary Fukunaga are the director and executive producer behind Thumper. The 2017 Tribeca Film Festival Spotlight Narrative entry is a suspenseful crime drama that follows Kat Carter (Eliza Taylor) the troubled new girl in school with a deep secret.
Kat experiences the typical things a new kid does trying to fit in with her new classmates in a community where drugs and violence run rampant. She is befriended by the docile Beaver (Daniel Webber) and Kat realizes that the reach of the local drug ring is deep and insidious. Kat quickly attracts the attention of the drug ring leader Wyatt (Pablo Schreiber), a menacing individual who would kill to protect his livelihood. Surviving this new environment is as impossible as you would imagine.
Eliza Taylor stopped by to talk to us on the red carpet about the film and the experience dealing with such interesting subject matter.
