BAFTA and Emmy award-nominee Tessa Thompson (Hedda) is starring the psychological thriller, Foxfinder.

Golden Globe and Emmy winner Owen Cooper (Adolescence) and two-time Emmy winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear) also star.

The synopsis reads: “The lives of Jude and Sam, a grieving couple clinging to routine and survival, are upended when William, a coldly devout government “foxfinder,” arrives at their struggling farm with a mission to root out the designated enemy – the fox. As paranoia festers and absurd regulations tighten their grip, suspicion replaces love, and truth itself begins to warp.”

The film is based on the play by Dawn King. Aoife McArdle (Severance) directs from a script co-written by director Aoife McArdle and King.

Cornerstone and Logical Pictures Group will co-rep international sales and distribution and will launch sales at Cannes. WME Independent, Cornerstone and Logical Pictures Group are jointly representing the U.S. rights.
