When two thieves accidentally arm the alarm system and have to break OUT of the house they just broke into, that’s a bad idea gone wrong.
Hence the name of our next SXSW film profile.
As if that’s not bad enough, the would be thieves come to discover an unexpected house sitter and suddenly have to deal with a hostage situation, double crosses, sexual tension and other discoveries that make their difficult escape even more dubious.
Writer/ director Jason Headley told us what inspired the narrative feature.
“I was tired of writing scripts that were too big to get up off the ground. So I engineered this story to be easy to make, without sacrificing anything in the way of story.”
While Headley has submitted musical work to the festival in the past, this is his first time actually attending.
“Back when I had a band, we submitted to the music festival every year and never got in. I took the hint, regrouped and now I’m back.”
He has, however, been to the ATX, a city he says has been interminably kind to him in so many ways.
“I’m just looking forward to being back in its loving arms and seeing what sort of magic it has in store for me this time.”
