FIRST LOOK: Jane Schoenbrun Dives Into Slashers, Remakes, and Sexuality with ‘TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA’

After stunning audiences and critics with their haunting tale of media and gender identity in I Saw The TV Glow, Jane Schoenbrun is back and diving into the slasher genre this summer with their third feature, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. It stars Emmy-winning Hacks breakout Hannah Einbinder as a filmmaker hired to direct a new installment of a long-running slasher. As she tries to cast the original movie’s elusive star (Gillian Anderson), the two fall into a fever of psychosexual mania.

MUBI picked up the rights to the film ahead of production and will release it in theaters August 7 in North America, Latin America, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Benelux, Spain, Italy, Turkey, India, Australia, and New Zealand. Plan B Entertainment (12 Years A Slave, Moonlight, Women Talking) produces, while I Saw The TV Glow cinematographer Eric K. Yue lenses the film.

Also joining Einbinder and Anderson in the fray are Amanda Fix, Arthur Conti, Eva Victor, Zach Cherry, Sarah Sherman, Patrick Fischler, Dylan Baker, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Quintessa Swindell, Kevin McDonald, and I Saw The TV Glow star Jack Haven

Here’s an official synopsis:

After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection. But when she visits the original movie’s star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.
