Hours, written and directed by Eric Heisserer, gets it's world premiere tomorrow night as part of the Narrative Spotlight. The Hurricane Katrina based suspense drama stars Paul Walker who battles the elements and exhaustion for two days in a hospital while his newborn daughter clings to life inside a ventilator powered only by a manual crank.
World premiering the following day is Snap, starring Nikki Reed and Jake Hoffman. Directed by Youssef Delara and Victor Teran, Snap is a dark psychological thriller set in the underground world of dubstep.
