Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show – a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the TV, Owen’s view of reality begins to crack. Sundance adds: “I Saw the TV Glow forces us to consider whether the memories of our youth betrayed us, or if something more sinister is at play.” I Saw the TV Glow is both written and directed by American filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun, making their second feature film after directing We’re All Going to the World’s Fair previously, plus a few other projects and a producer on many shorts. It’s produced by Dave McCary, Emma Stone, Ali Herting, Sam Intili, and Sarah Winshall. This initially premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. A24 will debut Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow in select US theaters starting May 3rd, 2024 coming soon. Who’s curious about watching?
