When she crosses paths with a charming stranger, Tom (Sam Brittan), at the park, she feels hope for the first time in months. Tom sweeps Lilly off her feet and invites her on a romantic weekend getaway. However, things take a disturbing turn when Lily discovers that Tom has an unusual appetite for tears… and will stop at nothing to get them.”
“Tearsucker is a unique, layered film meant to both entertain and provoke a discussion,” said writer/producer and lead actor Sam Brittan. “While the movie is stylish, super fun, and creepy as hell, it also grapples with the very real subjects of trauma and abuse – so each person who watches it is going to experience the film in their own unique way.”
