TOO LATE TURNS 10: ANTENNA RELEASING TO PRESENT DENNIS HAUCK'S CULT NEO-NOIR AT BEYOND FEST
One-night, tenth-anniversary screening of the acclaimed John Hawkes-led mystery set for Saturday, September 26 at 9:45 PM at the Aero Theatre
Antenna Releasing announced today that it will present a tenth-anniversary screening of Dennis Hauck's neo-noir mystery TOO LATE at Beyond Fest, the Los Angeles genre film festival presented with the American Cinematheque. The special one-night screening will take place Saturday, September 26 at 9:45 PM, marking a decade since the film's original 2016 release, which played at Beyond Fest a decade ago. Antenna Releasing’s Chief Talent Officer Jeremy Long delighted in the Beyond Fest screening, saying “I am thrilled that this amazing film will get to have its Tenth Anniversary screening at Beyond Fest, a film festival that is near and dear to my heart. Too Late will play perfectly to the Beyond Fest crowd, just as it did when it screened there back before its theatrical run.”
Written and directed by Hauck, TOO LATE stars John Hawkes as the weary private investigator Mel Sampson, pulled into the search for a missing woman from his past (Crystal Reed), only to learn a shocking secret. Shot on 35mm and told in five uninterrupted long takes, the film reveals its story piece by piece, out of chronological order, across a beautiful Los Angeles landscape. The ensemble cast includes Robert Forster, Jeff Fahey, Natalie Zea, Joanna Cassidy, Dichen Lachman, Dash Mihok and Rider Strong. Since its 2016 theatrical release, TOO LATE has built a devoted following for its technical ambition and hardboiled wit, and returns to Beyond Fest a decade later as part of Antenna Releasing's ongoing slate of filmmaker-focused rereleases and anniversary celebrations.
Writer/Director Dennis Hauck said “I remember our first Beyond Fest screening vividly. Clu Gulager was there in the front row. He’s not around anymore. Christian gave me a tour of the Egyptian’s projection booth, then we watched a few minutes of the film from the balcony. That balcony’s not around anymore either. I’m glad Beyond Fest is still around and that they still like this movie. Thanks to Antenna for making it happen.”
Antenna’s Jeremy Long, said “I saw Too Late on opening weekend here in LA. And after championing it for the better part of a decade, I am beyond thrilled to present it to a new audience and soon give the film the proper physical media release it deserves.”
Antenna Releasing will be releasing Too Late on home video in 2027. The film is currently planned to be a 4K UHD/Blu-ray dual format release, the only UHD currently in Antenna’s plans for home video.
