Cotton Fever

A group of interconnected characters—a low level drug dealer, an expectant mother, an outreach worker, a young unhoused couple—struggle to outrun the cycles of addiction that bind them as they lean on one another to keep hope alive. Writer/director Daniel Blake Schwartz draws from his real-life experiences to immerse us in the uncertainty and frustration of addiction and recovery, and Kyle Gallner and Sosie Bacon deliver terrific performances as the expectant couple trying to claw their way to a more stable life. Set in Chelsea, Massachusetts, COTTON FEVER is a hard-hitting, deeply personal film with resonance for so many.

Director Daniel Blake Schwartz and Producer Philip Keefe are scheduled to attend on Thursday, June 11.
