Screenwriters: Mark Binaculli, Jeff Richard
Cast: James Caan, Logan Miller, Keir Gilchrist
Synopsis: The experiment started with a simple idea: if you had the equipment and the ambition, could you convince another person that they're being haunted? THE WAITING follows two teenage boys as they attempt to do just that. Through a series of escalating “haunts”, the boys prod an elderly neighbor further and further in order to get a reaction. But as their suspicions grow and the tension mounts, they realize the man they're manipulating is the last person they should've chosen for their project, which will all end in a paralyzing climax they never could have seen coming.
The Waiting stars James Caan alongside young Hollywood talent Logan Miller and Keir Gilchrist (The Stanford Prison Experiment) in this unique cross-genre social experiment that breaks the conventional rules of filmmaking. Director Kasra Farahani got his start as a successful art director and is now considered a “filmmaker to watch” with his short film Concerning the Bodyguard screening at New Directors / New Films in April.
