Brittany Snow’s SXSW Prize Winner ‘Parachute’ Lands At Vertical

The film tells the story of Riley (Eaton), a fun and energetic young woman who struggles with an eating disorder and body image issues, and Ethan (Mann), a once-promising musician approaching the end of his 20s, watching as the two meet and just “click.” To Ethan, all of Riley’s flaws are beautiful, and he wants to help her see herself the way he does. Riley adores Ethan and is inspired by his talent and selflessness. Their relationship is a balancing act between their love for each other and their combustible personal issues. But they truly feel like soulmates and the world makes sense only when they take it on together.

In a statement to Deadline, Snow shared that she’s “very grateful audiences will see Parachute thanks to the wonderful team at Vertical. Their understanding and passion for this film show how much they believe in complex, character driven stories and narratives which hopefully start a needed conversation. We are so excited to be their partners in this and value how they bring stories to life.”
