Directed by Carlson Young and written by Gigi Levangie, Trust will arrive in select theaters on August 22nd from Republic Pictures (a Paramount Pictures label). The film stars Sophie Turner, Rhys Coiro, Billy Campbell, Peter Mensah, Forrest Goodluck, Gianni Paolo, Renata Vaca and Katey Sagal, revolving around "a Hollywood starlet (Sophie Turner) retreats to a remote cabin—but she’s not alone. Betrayed by the man she trusted most, she’s trapped in a brutal game of survival. She can hide, but she can’t run."
I was really impressed with Carlson Young's first film, The Blazing World, so I was excited to catch up with her to learn all about the on-set experience, working with Sophie Turner, influences, and more!
