What is Robert Shupe’s Handshake about?
“After a chance encounter in the Montana wilderness, mild-mannered family man Bill Burdick and failed drug dealer Devin Fowler form an unlikely bond and soon find themselves concocting an unorthodox scheme to resolve their respective financial debts,” the official synopsis reads. “But when their plan yields a series of unexpected consequences, the nature of their fast friendship and the morality of their shared crime is called into question. Loosely based on actual events and set against a perilous contemporary American West, Handshake charts the enigmatic trajectory of two ordinary men whose toxic chemistry and dire circumstances give way to greed, violence, and far-reaching psychological trauma.”
Handshake is written, produced, and directed by Shupe, who previously made 2006’s Damn Yankee Day. Todd Hailstone, May May Luong, and Leslie Gomez co-produced the movie, while Matthew Helderman, Luke Taylor, Nikki Stier, and Justice Grady Craig served as executive producers.
Shupe also stars in the movie alongside Joe Basso, Mabel Maultsby, Onnoleigh Sweetman, Savanah Joeckel, and Doug Ecks.
The music featured in Handshake comes from Alex Stopa and Eric Rickey, while Rob Sholty served as the director of photography.
Having already screened at a number of different film festivals, Handshake releases on digital streaming services and On Demand on March 29, 2024, from Buffalo 8.
