Sanctuary - Trailer

A wickedly dark comedy follows dominatrix, Rebecca (Margaret Qualley), and her wealthy client, Hal (Christopher Abbott), as they engage in a high stakes role playing game for power and control. In the wake of inheriting his father's hotel chain, Hal attempts to end his long and secret relationship with Rebecca. A battle of wills ensues over the course of one incredibly fraught night, with both Rebecca and Hal struggling to keep the upper hand as the power dynamics swing wildly back and forth.

Directed by former film critic-turned-filmmaker Zachary Wigon (The Heart Machine), the film is written by Micah Bloomberg, who is co-creator and writer of the scripted psychological thriller podcast "Homecoming" and its Amazon TV adaptation, which ran for two seasons.

"Sanctuary" is being released in limited theaters on May 19th, via Neon Films
