New from Trust: 'June Bug' written and directed by Kyle Sawyer. ‘June Bug’ follows an elderly woman whose failing eyesight forces her to come to terms with the fact that she'll never be able to drive her beloved 1959 VW Beetle again. As her health declines, her refusal to adapt to her new reality puts a growing strain on her adult son (and reluctant caretaker), and ultimately, all it takes is a fond shared memory to break through the barriers they have put up. “‘June Bug’ is a film about final goodbyes of the hardest kind. Saying goodbye to your faculties, to your functioning body, is a part of aging that seems impossible to reconcile. I wanted to make a film that touched on this theme as it’s so universal and universally ignored.” –Director Kyle Sawyer Watch the film: https://bit.ly/4hGOcPh Credits: Director: Kyle Sawyer Writers: Katie Billo, Kyle Sawyer Producer: Katie Billo Executive Producers: Trust Kyle Sawyer A Digital Sabbath Film Company Production Director of Photography: Paul Duck Editor: Kyle Sawyer Music provided by Musicbed Additional music: Brandon Fehderau Casting By Ashley Hallihan, CDC & Ian Bender, CDC Location Sound Mixer: Troy Shantz Hair & Makeup: Samantha Roy Colour: Artjail Colourist: Clinton Homuth Colour Assistant: Austin Tang Producer: Alison Maxwell Re-recording Mixer: John Diemer Supervising Sound Editor: Rob Taylor
