Ryan J. Sloan’s GAZER is a debut thriller unlike any other. Shot luminously on film on the streets of Essex County, NJ, the film follows Frankie (Ariella Mastroianni), a young mother with a rare brain condition who, desperate for the money she needs to survive, takes a job from a mysterious woman with a dark past. But how can Frankie survive in a dangerous world where the stakes keep getting more perilous? GAZER is an edge-of-your-seat puzzle that ingeniously folds itself into knots, a thrill ride that heralds the arrival of two new film artists to watch.

Q&A with director Ryan J. sloan, star Ariella Mastroianni, DP Matheus Bastos, Composer Steve Carter follows the screening.
