Diverge
DIR: JAMES MORRISON
In the aftermath of a global pandemic, one survivor is given the chance to travel across time to stop the cataclysmic event and regain everything he has lost. To do that he must kill the man responsible for sowing the seeds of mankind’s destruction - his past self.
Equal parts science fiction and character study, DIVERGE is the story of a man as he discovers how far he’s willing to go to return to the one he loves, and what he stands to lose in doing so.
DIVERGE stars Ivan Sandomire (Restive), Andrew Sensenig (Upstream Color), Jamie Jackson (The Blacklist), features an original score by the Blair brothers (Green Room, Blue Ruin), and recently won the top prize for “Works in Progress” at US in Progress in Paris.
