UNION COUNTY Trailer: Will Poulter Is On the Road to Recovery in Sundance Addiction Drama
Having premiered at this year’s Sundance, writer-director Adam Meeks has packed some star power for his feature debut, Union County. Based on his short film of the same name, the drama stars Will Poulter and Noah Centineo as brothers and recovering addicts who are both assigned to a court-mandated drug recovery program in the midst of the opioid epidemic. It was shot in Meek’s native Ohio and also features a supporting cast of both professional and local non-professional actors that include Elise Kibler, Emily Meade, Annette Deao, and Danny Wolohan. Oscilloscope Laboratories has now unveiled the official trailer ahead of the film’s release in theaters August 14.
As the official synopsis reads:
Will Poulter and Noah Centineo deliver pitch-perfect performances as brothers Cody and Jack Parsons, each navigating a court-mandated drug rehabilitation program in a pocket of rural Ohio hit hard by the opioid epidemic. Provided with hope for the first time since their struggles began and with the support of a tireless counselor (Annette Deao), the brothers work toward a brighter, sober future. Poulter and Centineo blend seamlessly with a supporting cast composed predominantly of non-professional actors as they share their actual experiences, pain, and optimism as they, themselves, navigate the program. Ohio-born filmmaker Adam Meeks creates a film imbued with realism for an honest, compassionate portrait of a battle being fought across America and the solidarity that flowers on its front lines.
