The film follows Susie , an awkward college student with a failing true-crime podcast, who seizes the opportunity to boost her campus and online popularity by solving the mysterious disappearance of Jesse , the campus heart-throb. With her star on the rise, events take a dark turn as Susie digs out the truth and soon finds herself in over her head.
Adam Mirels and Robbie Mirels of Magnetic Labs commented, “We love giving filmmakers their first shot and Sophie has knocked it out of the park with Susie Searches, a film that’s sure to become a cult classic. We can’t wait for audiences to experience Kiersey Clemons’ phenomenal performance as Susie and to fall in love with Alex’s Wolff’s deeply empathetic portrayal of Jesse.”
Vertical’s SVP of Acquisitions Tony Piantedosi says, “Sophie has pulled off a remarkable tonal balancing act, crafting a film in which the chilling twists and hilarious comedy beats are equally startling and keep the audience on their toes. This is anchored by the endearing and layered performance from Kiersey Clemons, and we’re excited for audiences to be plunged into the mystery with her.”
Vertical’s Partner Peter Jarowey and Piantedosi negotiated the deal on behalf of Vertical, while WME Independent and UTA Independent Film Group negotiated on behalf of the production.
