eighteen years after disappearing without a trace. While his parents are long deceased, Cornelius’s brothers continue to live in isolation on this forgotten piece of land. Ezra is a freak for two things: cleanliness and Jesus. Amos is a self-taught artist who fetishizes sports and Satan. Although back home, Cornelius is still distant. In between challenging strangers to one-on-one games, he huffs and drinks the days away. The family’s high-school sports demons show up one day in the guise of a plumber and a pretty girl. Only a mysterious drifter can redeem their souls on 4th and goal. Triple-threat actor/writer/director Tully creates a backwoods world that’s only a few trees away from our own, complete with characters on the edge of sanity that we can actually relate to. A hero tale gone wrong, SEPTIEN is funny when it’s inappropriate to laugh, and realistic when it should be psychotic. The film made its world premiere at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and simultaneously on-demand on January 23. The film's On Demand run ends on February 28th.About Septien, Chris Claro of On Demand Weekly writes, "SEPTIEN is notable for the fairly polished look Tully achieves on what is surely a shoestring budget. A departure from so many digital indies, it makes the most of its grainy 16-millimeter film grit. The portrayals, by Tully, Robert Longstreet, and Onur Tukel as the Rawlings brothers, are startling in their powerful stillness.
Truly creepy, the three actors show the emotional deterioration of their characters, and their desire to "smother the demons" in powerful performances that stick to your psyche long after SEPTIEN has ended."
