You can watch the teaser and full trailers below.
When the body of a drifter is discovered the same day a photographer arrives in the small town of Goodland, the local law enforcement is left to piece together a string of events that don’t quite add up. Made to look like a farm accident, the drifter’s grisly death is soon called into question, motives become unclear, and a game of cat and mouse ensues.Coming off a successful festival run, and a 9.2 IMDb rating – Goodland has been hailed by audiences and critics alike as “dark” and “brilliant.” Written and directed by Josh Doke, “with a diamond cutter’s eye,” this small town crime drama is filled with multi-dimensional characters who all appear to be something that they’re not. Starring Cinnamon Schultz (Winter’s Bone) in what is sure to be her breakout role as a local sheriff, Georgette Gaines, and Matt Weiss (Elementary, Shades of Blue) as the mysterious traveling photographer, Ergo Reins, Goodland starts out as a crime mystery, but unravels into much, much more. The film also stars character-acting legend Kip Niven (Magnum Force, Earthquake) as Hal Bloom.
