The Slamdance Film Festival is an annual film festival focused on emerging filmmakers and low-budget independent films that runs concurrently with the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. One of the films premiering at the festival is “Withdrawn,” about the basement-dwelling Aaron (Aaron Keough) who finds a lost credit card and devises a plan to defraud its owner. The film’s dialogue is almost entirely improvised and was shot off a 15-page outline. It co-stars Molly Reisman, Dean Tardioli, Greg Wasylyszn, Kelly Paoli, Hallie Burt and Earl Oliveros. Watch a trailer for the film below.
