BUSTER'S MAL HEART
Rami Malek (Emmy nominee for MR. ROBOT) stars in BUSTER'S MAL HEART as Jonah, a troubled man on the run from fate. Malek exposes the depths of Jonah's soul in this smart thriller, peppered with dark humor and laden with interlocking mystery. From the bold cinematic mind of Sarah Adina Smith (THE MIDNIGHT SWIM, winner of the AFI Fest Breakthrough Audience Award), BUSTER'S MAL HEART is a visceral mind bender that will provoke discussion long after it turns your world upside down.
