A working-class fable about a biker, a mermaid and three shades of blue.

Shot on location in Oregon and California, Lorelei stars Tony and Emmy nominee Pablo Schreiber (Halo, Den of Thieves, Orange is the New Black, The Wire) and Golden Globe nominee Jena Malone (The Neon Demon, Lovesong, The Hunger Games, Inherent Vice).

Lorelei was an Official Selection of the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival. It won the Jury Prize at the 2020 Deauville American Film Festival and the Jordan Ressler First Feature Award at the 2021 Miami Film Festival. The film was also supported by a Stella Artois Women in Film Finishing Grant.
