Opening tomorrow, June 6th, is the political drama Thirsty, from writer/director Emily Abt. Jamie Neumann leads the film as a defense attorney who embarks on an underdog campaign to defeat the incumbent mayor of Oakland. Also in the film are Sung Kang, Kyra Sedgwick, Thora Birch, Tyler Lepley, Briana Venskus, and Brandee Evans, so a fantastic cast all around.
We’re happy to debut an exclusive clip from Thirsty, in which Neumann’s upstart candidate Audrey Allen confronts her opponent, the incumbent mayor (Evans), about her track record on crime, only to be called out for a potential conflict of interest.
Here’s the film’s synopsis: A tenacious defense attorney embarks on a high stakes campaign to beat the incumbent mayor of Oakland. As election day approaches, she must reconcile the seduction of the political game with her own moral compass or risk losing it all.
Gravitas Ventures will release Thirsty on June 6th. Check out the clip below and a recent trailer.
