Melissa and Richie live below the poverty line and surviving on Richie’s monthly disability check and Melissa’s small hourly wage from her job at a convenience store. Desperately poor but very much in love, they are ecstatic when they discover that Melissa is pregnant. But when the restraining order she placed on her obsessive ex-boyfriend, Justin, is lifted, her problems suddenly become magnified.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Laurie Collyer (Sherrybaby), Sunlight Jr. was nominated for Best Narrative Feature at 2013′s Tribeca Film Festival. Featuring stand-out performances from Oscar nominees Naomi Watts (The Impossible, Diana) and Matt Dillon (Crash, To Die For) and rising star Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead) in a menacing, electrifying role, this is indie filmmaking at its very best.
