Low Light Films Boards Jane Schoenbrun EP’d ‘The Arrow At Rest’ + First Clip

EXCLUSIVE: Barcelona-based Low Light Films has boarded sales on Theodore Schaefer’s The Arrow at Rest at Every Instant of its Flight ahead of its European premiere at the Sitges Film Festival this week and released a first clip.

The 81-minute feature originally world premiered at the 2026 Edinburgh International Film Festival in August and also recently played in Baltimore’s New/Next Film Festival.

Moving between comedy, crime, romance and existential drama, The Arrow at Rest at Every Instant of its Flight takes inspiration from the energetic and experimental spirit of 1960s New Wave cinema.

A satirical triptych, it follows three young women who look exactly alike. One attempts a robbery, another finds herself caught in a particularly complicated love triangle, while the third becomes determined to save a woman whose suicide note she finds by chance.

The film stars Gus Birney, Jack Haven, Roberta Colindrez, Daniel Zolghadri and John Early, with filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun serving as executive producer.

“We were immediately drawn to the film’s energy, humour and very particular voice. It’s playful and strange, but there’s a real emotional and existential core underneath it. Theodore has created something that feels completely his own, and we’re excited to introduce the film to international buyers and programmers,” said Low Light Films founder Jainer Morales Mena.

Schaefer previously directed Giving Birth to a Butterfly, which premiered at Fantasia International Film Festival and was later released theatrically by Cinedigm and Fandor.

His producing credits include We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, The Adults, Tendaberry, Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point, Vulcanizadora and Maddie’s Secret.

“Theodore Schaefer’s The Arrow at Rest at Every Instant of its Flight is a riotous and beautifully strange jazz inflected NY indie with an incredible ensemble cast. His cinematic voice is completely distinct and hilarious, and I am so proud to champion this film,” said Schoenbrun.
