Distributorless British Debut 'The State of Us' Bows in Edinburgh Competition

"The State of Us," a 90-minute British debut by co-directors Ollie Gardner and Jake Harvey, premieres Friday in Main Competition at the 79th Edinburgh International Film Festival (14–21 August) with no distributor attached, per The Hollywood Reporter. The festival slot puts the film before sales agents and buyers who determine whether it reaches screens beyond the circuit.
