Juno Films has acquired the U.S., Canada, and U.K. distribution rights to Peter Hedges’ (What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Ben Is Back) innovative drama The Same Storm. The film premiered at Telluride Film Festival in September 2021 and will open in NYC at the Quad Cinema and in Santa Monica at the Laemmle Santa Monica October 14, 2022.
 
Filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic using cell phones and laptops, The Same Storm invites viewers into the lives of twenty-four characters as they navigate the spring and summer of 2020. With lockdowns, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the looming 2020 election as key backdrops, the film explores the importance of human connection, family, and love during a time when all of that seemed out of reach. With an all-star cast, including Sandra Oh, Mary-Louise Parker, Elaine May, Moses Ingram, Raul Castillo, Noma Duzemweni, Brittany Bradford, K. Todd Freeman, Jin Ha, Alison Pilland many more, writer/director Peter Hedges crafts a unique piece of filmmaking that celebrates cinema’s ability to connect us all.

The Same Storm hits US cinemas on 14th October 2022.
