\"deadline-hollywood-logo-o\"After cult favorites Spring (2014) and The Endless (2017) Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson are starting to break out from under the radar with their trippy TIFF entry Synchronic. \u201cIt\u2019s about two paramedics in New Orleans who have been friends for a really long time,\u201d Moorhead explained when the directing duo stopped by the Deadline Studio, \u201cand they are called out to these first responder calls that are linked together by this designer drug called Synchronic. It has some very bizarre effects, and Jamie [Dornan], who plays one of the paramedics with Anthony Mackie, [is shocked when] his daughter\u2014who\u2019s played by Ally [Ioannides]\u2014disappears after taking the drug.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though the premise is pure futuristic sci-fi, the inspiration came from close to home. \u201cIn the United States,\u201d said Benson, \u201cwe have these [recreational] drugs that can be sold over the counter and [at] head shops, and they are drugs that really do something, but there\u2019s no medical research. They\u2019re just put out by a company that\u2019s like, \u2018Well, we\u2019re going to make a molecule that\u2019s very similar to the illegal drug,\u2019 and these synthetic analogs often actually do have very mysterious results\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

For Dornan, it was the blend of mystery and emotion that drew him in. \u201cThere are huge plot twists that happen, that we can\u2019t reveal yet and that are very hard to talk about without saying what actually happens,\u201d he said.\u201d But the relationship between Anthony\u2019s character and mine is tested in the most beautiful way, as a result of Ally\u2019s character going missing, and that\u2019s what actually got me at the end\u2014the friendship [aspect] of it. What people will do for friendship is actually what made me cry at the end of the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
