Indiecan Entertainment will release Zach Gayne’s highly-anticipated STATES, starring Alex Essoe (the upcoming “Doctor Sleep”) in New York theatre (Cinema Village August 2-7) this August.

A transient road film featuring an array of young drifters wandering throughout the U.S. with varying degrees of purpose, or lack-thereof , “States” is a multifaceted meditation on freedom – via Twain, Kerouac, Altman, Linklater… – and an outsider’s love letter to America and the searchers of its endless highways.

Inspired by daring works of independent adventurism, particularly in the Slacker spirit, States was made with nothing but a camera, two microphones, a credit card, and a passion for the open road. The film is a neorealist collaboration with carefully selected, very talented strangers – actors and non-actors recruited along the way – that tells an ensemble tale of drifters, ramblers, sirens and gamblers. A transient road film featuring an array of young nomads wandering throughout the U.S. with varying degrees of purpose, or lack-thereof, “States” is a multifaceted meditation on freedom via Twain/Altman/Homer and an outsider’s love letter to America and the searchers of its endless highways.

“States”, written and directed by Zach Gayne, stars Alex Essoe, who plays Wendy Torrence in the upcoming ‘Shining’ prequel “Doctor Sleep”, with Jeremy O.Harris and DC Paul.
