A new dark comedy titled “Up in the Hills” is in the works. The film stars Dylan Walsh (“Nip/Tuck”), Paris Berelc (Netflix’s “Alexa & Katie”), Ali Cobrin (“The Baxters”) and Cottrell Guidry (“Prince of Detroit.””
“Up in the Hills” is written and directed by Jacob Steinberg.
The satire follows a Hollywood dinner party gone wrong. Walsh stars as film producer Saul Aushburn with Cobrin as his wife. Guidry plays an actor named Dante Crawford, and Berelc is an ambitious wanna-be producer.
Production wrapped in October in New Jersey.
Donna McKenna, who recently worked on “Beyond the Rush,” cast the film. Rounding out the cast are Delaney Williams, Bobby James Evers, Regina Schneider, Anne Son, Chris Blunt and Michael Emery.
“Up in the Hills” is executive produced by Brett Gursky (“The American Meme”). Steinberg also produces under his banner, Pontella Pictures.
Steinberg is an independent filmmaker who recently released his first feature film, “Senior,” in 2023. The comedy follows a college student on on his last day of college. At the Japan International Film Festival, the movie took home the best feature prize; at the Munich New Wave Film Festival, it won best feature film, and at the Roma Film Festival, the feature was recognized with the best actor award.
