NEW YORK, NY (January XX, 2015) – Inspired
by actual events in the late ‘90s in which Hasidic Jews were recruited as drug mules, HOLY ROLLERS was a
Gotham Award winner and Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize nominee in
2010. On the eve of Sundance 2015, the
crime drama, starring Oscar® nominee Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network, Now You See Me) makes its free VOD debut on
January 20, exclusively on SnagFilms, the
award-winning social video-viewing platform and 2014 Webby® nominee. It will be available to view online at SnagFilms.com, and all
supported devices, including their multi award-winning app.
In
HOLY ROLLERS, directed by award-winning indie filmmaker Kevin Asch (Affluenza),
mild-mannered Sam Gold (Eisenberg) is a young Rabbinical student from an
ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Borough Park, Brooklyn. Looking to make some
extra money, Sam and his best friend Leon (Jason Fuchs, Ice Age: Continental Drift) accept a job
from Leon’s brother Yosef (Justin Bartha, The Hangover) to retrieve a suitcase in Amsterdam and walk it
through customs in New York. Yosef has ties to an Israeli drug
cartel, the mysterious cargo turns out to be pure MDMA (ecstasy), and the
promise of easy cash lures Sam into becoming a smuggler and dealer. The film co-stars Ari Graynor (Celeste and Jesse Forever), Danny A.
Abeckaser (The Wolf of Wall Street),
Q-Tip (Cadillac Records), and Hallie
Kate Eisenberg (The Insider)
