is set to play in competition at the 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival. Directed by Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire, the pic reunites Sheridan with Sean Penn after over a decade since Malick’s . Sheridan first became involved with the film in 2018 and continued on throughout the film’s execution and release.
“As a teen, some of the first films I worked on, like Mud and Joe, had a profound effect on me because they were universal stories, yet they conveyed the sheer magic and richness of American subculture. Those are the kinds of stories we want to bring to life through Dogwood Pictures,” said Sheridan. “I gravitate toward stories anchored by real places, particularly the American South. David has been a mentor of mine in this approach, and he’s always lifted up the creative people around him. It’s exciting to now be able to help our friend Tye with similar goals. We’ve watched Tye develop as an artist from the beginning of his career. He strives for authenticity in his work, and I look forward to supporting that goal in his latest endeavor,” said Nichols.
“I’ve worked with Tye and watched him grow on screen. Behind the scenes, I know there’s a curiosity, joy and a sense of innovation balanced with tradition. It’s fun to be connected creatively with folks like Tye and work with Jeff in our support of cool voices, stories, and technologies,” said Gordon Green
