The New Year
Following the film will be a Q&A with The New Year star
Trieste Kelly Dunn and director Brett Haley.

“Brett Haley has built an encouraging feature debut. Ms. Dunn,
Mr. Haley and their supporting players appear to have
a fine future before them.”
- The New York Times

“A mid season candidate for low budget wunderkind of the year, Brett Haley’s The New Year is a quietly riveting,
old fashioned AmerIndie.”
- Filmmaker Magazine

“The film's scripted, straight-ahead dramatic storytelling and low-key tone make it something of an anomaly on the current indie landscape… Dunn really pops off the screen.”
- The Los Angeles Times

“An observant and compassionate drama… Has gem-like moments scattered like Waffle House hashbrowns.”
- The Wall Street Journal

"The New Year" represents a glowing coming-out party for its debutant writer-director Brett Haley and star Trieste Kelly Dunn. It feels like a film destined for later rediscovery by cineastes curious to see the first flowering of two serious talents.” - Variety

“Will break your heart.” - The Village Voice

One-time high school valedictorian and “most likely to succeed,” beautiful bookworm Sunny (Trieste Kelly Dunn) finds herself stuck in Pensacola in her mid-twenties, working at a bowling alley and caring for her terminally ill father. Sunny is taken off guard when she runs into a charming high school rival who is home from New York for the holidays, and finds herself at a crossroads between chasing her old dreams, or creating new ones that she never believed she would have.
