Independent filmmaking doesn’t have to be small-scale, or low in ambition. Just look at the work of directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead – a duo whose high-concept genre fare has earned them a growing reputation as some of the most interesting filmmakers around. And after the break-out of 2017’s time-looping cult hit The Endless, they’re back with Synchronic – another mind-blowing odyssey that brings big ideas to the forefront. The film stars Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan as cops on the trail of a time-altering drug sweeping the streets of New Orleans, sending Mackie’s character down a decidedly non-linear rabbit hole.
