Ahead of the world premiere of the Incidental Films & Glass Eye Pix film “Bliss” at this year’s Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, MUSE TV received an exclusive clip from the film to share with all of you! You can check it out above!
The release of this exclusive clip from “Bliss” marks the beginning of our coverage of this year’s Slamdance Film Festival that is celebrating its 30th year. This Los Angeles organization has become a multi-faceted artist-led organization that serves new and emerging artists, filmmakers, and storytellers from around the globe. It will be taking place in Park City, Utah from January 19 through the 28.
“Bliss” will be making its world premiere on Friday at the festival.
Here is the synopsis for “Bliss”
Virgil Bliss has been a fugitive for twenty years. His decision to return to the scene of his original crime and finally make amends is complicated by the sudden death of his girlfriend and fellow Oxy addict, Amy, and the unexpected arrival of Amy’s holy roller sister who catches Virgil up in a web of lies and deceit.
At once a dark fable of persistence, perseverance, and the transformative power of love, but also a searing indictment of the American carceral system and our ongoing opioid epidemic. “Bliss” is the sequel to the 2001 Film Independent Spirit Award-nominated debut feature “Virgil Bliss” and is the second installment of the Virgil Bliss Trilogy.
