Flying Lotus is already a Grammy Award-winning musician, record producer, DJ and composer, but the multi-talented artist is beginning to make a splash a filmmaker. Following the weird experimental film Kuso and the Ozzy’s Dungeon segment of V/H/S/99, Flying Lotus is embarking on the biggest project yet, the sci-fi thriller Ash starring Eiza González (Hit Man) and Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad).
With Ash set to hit theaters in March, a new trailer has been released. Flying Lotus aka Steven Ellison directs and scores his sophomore effort, which centers on a woman who wakes up on a distant planet to find that the entire crew of her space station have been murdered. Now she must decide who can be trusted, including the man sent to save her.
Also in the cast are Iko Uwais, Kate Elliott, Beulah Koale, and Flying Lotus himself.
Ash will have its world premiere at SXSW, followed by a theatrical release on March 21st by RLJE Films.
Synopsis: On the mysterious planet of Ash, Riya (González) awakens to find her crew slaughtered. When a man named Brion (Paul) arrives to rescue her, an ordeal of psychological and physical terror ensues while Riya and Brion must decide if they can trust one another to survive.
