- The plot follows the protagonist as emerging technology suddenly allows her to speak with her late father again, upending her life alongside a new romance and a career breakthrough.
- Madeleine Rotzler wrote and directed 'O Horizon,' and Electric CEO Dean Devlin called it 'incredibly relatable and superbly performed, with the perfect amount of comic relief to balance out its dramatic power.'

Why it matters: Electric Entertainment lands a star-driven sci-fi drama with a locked-in U.S. release date of June 12, pairing domestic theatrical revenue through Variance with international sales potential out of Cannes. The cast — led by Maria Bakalova and veteran David Strathairn — gives the indie production commercial weight before buyers even see the footage.
