Written and directed by Isaac Hirotsu Woofter, Bound stars Alexandra Faye Sadeghian as Bella, a young woman who leaves her
troubled home and ventures to New York City with her pet squirrel in tow.
Bella makes a group of new friends in the city, but when she discovers one
of them shares a family connection she is forced to confront her dark
past.
The film also stars Bryant Carroll, Pooya Mohseni and Ramin Karimloo.
A release date has yet to be announced but you can check out the trailer
and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
When Bella (Alexandra Faye Sadeghian) realizes her mentally ill uncle/stepfather, Gordy (Bryant Carroll, A Man Called Otto), hid her college acceptance letter, she kicks him out of the house for the last time… or so she thinks. When her mother, Yeva (Pooya Mohseni, "Hellboy: Web of Wyrd"), allows Gordy back, Bella runs away to NYC with her pocket squirrel, Bandit, without money, without friends, without a place to live, and too much pride to turn back.
In the city a menagerie of strangers come into her life to help -- an undocumented immigrant, a mysterious and lonely vet (Tony Award nominee Ramin Karimloo), and an insecure designer. Bella thrives, until she discovers one of her new friends shares a connection with Gordy. The revelation propels Bella to act without consulting her new “found family” and the results are profoundly devastating.
When Bella wakes up alone in a hospital, she is ready to end it all, but an outstretched hand and a dark dangerous plan to break free from the chains of her previous life might be her salvation.
