My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To is an elevated-genre feature
directed by Jonathan Cuartas and starring Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous,
First Man), Ingrid Sophie Schram (Phantom Thread) and Owen Campbell (As You
Are, The Miseducation of Cameron Post).
The film follows siblings Dwight
(Patrick Fugit) and Jessie (Ingrid Sophie Schram) who put all their energy
into keeping their little brother Thomas (Owen Campbell) alive. But he
craves human blood.
“Following its world premiere at Tribeca, we are
thrilled to be bringing My Heart Can’t Beat to UK audiences. Debut
filmmaker, Jonathan Cuartas, has created something very special. It’s a
film about family – about what we would all do to protect them. So it’s
relatable. It’s just that your brother may or may not be a vampire. Patrick
Fugit – best known for his role in Almost Famous – is mesmerising in the
lead role” commented Sales & Acquisitions Director, Peter Thompson.
