This existential 2018 American film updates the 1799 mystery novel Edgar Huntly written by Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810).
“Overwhelm the Sky” moves the action to contemporary San Francisco where Eddie Huntly is a radio personality set to marry Thea, the sister of his best friend Neil, a successful entrepreneur. Shortly before Eddie’s arrival, Neil is found murdered in Golden Gate Park in what the police surmise was a simple mugging gone awry. As the sullen Eddie steps in as interim host of his old friend Dean’s late-night talk-radio show, he obsessively makes regular visits to the forested spot where Neil’s corpse was found. One such visit unleashes a chain of unpredictable events that sends Eddie snooping into the life of a sleepwalking drifter with a mysterious past.
The will also be a question-and-answer session with the director and cast members after the film. Presented as part of three Rivers Film Festival, the largest and longest running annual film festival in Southwestern Pennsylvania. For more information, call (412) 361-0873.
