I Live Here Now

A struggling Hollywood actress haunted by memories of an invasive childhood trauma, Rose is driven to the edge by life-changing news, an upcoming high-pressure audition, and the controlling machinations of her boyfriend's lunatic mother. Escaping to the small mountain town of Idyllwild during a forest fire, Rose hides out in a kitschy honeymoon motel where she soon finds herself trapped in a twisted, magenta-tinged fairytale. The humming halls of the lurid, bizarre Crown Inn become the blood-soaked stage for an epic battle in which Rose's inner demons are made incarnate. Taking various forms, including a deranged bellhop, a pickled proprietress, and the sharp-tongued seductress in the room next door, an intense confrontation with the deepest and darkest sources of Rose's pain looms before her. 

The debut feature from director Julie Pacino, I LIVE HERE NOW is a psychosexual thriller told in hyper-saturated hues, boldly exposing pregnancy fears, self-harm, CPTSD, and beyond through a surreal feminist lens. Led by Lucy Fry's fearless performance, the film co-stars Madeline Brewer, Lara Clear, and Sarah Rich as the weird women of the Crown Inn, and features mesmerizing turns from Cara Seymour (American Psycho, The Knick) and Sheryl Lee (Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me). Like a neon-dipped Repulsion, I LIVE HERE NOW was filmed on 16mm and 35mm film, bringing the Pepto pinks and velvet blues to giallo-tinged life. Vinegar Syndrome Pictures is thrilled to bring this daring initial feature from a new, visionary filmmaker to Blu-ray with hours of extras featuring the cast and crew.
