Kathryn Newton, Storm Reid and Dove Cameron Among Actors Cast in Coming of Age Revenge Thriller HOT YEAR

Director Roxy Sophie Sorkin will make her feature directorial debut with the upcoming film Hot Year, an indie coming of age revenge thriller she also wrote, starring Kathryn Newton, Storm Reid, Dove Cameron, J. Smith Cameron, and Owen Painter. Production is set to begin in Oklahoma this May.

“Hot Year is an exploration into brutal honesty and boiling, seething, grotesque womanhood,” described
Sorkin. “It’s a movie I wish I had held dear when I was 18. It’s a forehead kiss and a spit in the face. Be
prepared to wear fairy wings and bring Fireball.”

Set against the eerie backdrop of a small Pacific Northwest town during a relentless heatwave, Hot Year
follows two childhood best friends whose bond is pushed to the brink after a revenge plan against an ex-boyfriend spirals into a violent incident they can’t take back. Over the course of one feverish night, the pair must navigate the consequences of their actions as buried trauma, loyalty, and identity collide.

The film marks Sorkin’s feature directing debut after directing several shorts that have screened at Sundance, Tribeca, and Beyond Fest.
