The Frontier

United States • 2015

WATCH NOW

Filmed in the California desert on Super 16mm, The Frontier weaves elements of classic noir, American western, and the hard-boiled paperbacks of the 50s to create a timeless world within which the film's colorful characters roam. Shadowy, textured, and wonderfully lush, The Frontier looks like it popped out of the front cover of a gritty paperback novel. A female drifter (Jocelin Donahue, The House of the Devil) discovers a violent gang of thieves at a desert motel run by a mysterious woman (Kelly Lynch, Drugstore Cowboy) and hatches a plan to escape with their stolen cash. This riveting neo-noir keeps viewers guessing to the last exhilarating shot.

Starring

  • "Director Oren Shai steadily builds a timeless pulp world, one that purloins from 30s seedy gangsters, 50s greasers, and 70s slick crime. Add up all those eras, and you get something close to the stylized 1990s neo-noir of Red Rock West, where the dust on the ground is just there to soak up the blood."

    Richard Whittaker

    The Austin Chronicle

  • The Frontier is Ms. Donahue’s movie all the way, but between the supporting cast, the nastily amusing screenplay, and the endless double-crossings and back-stabbings, there are simply a lot of enjoyable facets to be found in this crafty little wise-assed neo-noir thriller."

    Scott Weinberg

    Nerdist

  • "Filmed in lusciously grainy 16mm, Oren Shai’s feature debut bursts with color."
