Vesper is written by Samper, Buozyte, and Brian Clark; Buzozyte previously directed and co-wrote the 2012 film Vanishing Waves with Samper. It is produced by Lithuania’s Daiva Varnaitė-Jovaišienė and AstaLiukaitytė and French VFX veteran and producer Alexis Perrin.

This new film stars Raffiella Chapman (The Theory of Everything), Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes), Rosy McEwen (The Alienist), and Richard Brake (The Munsters). You can read the official synopsis below.
Set after the collapse of the Earth’s ecosystem, the film follows Vesper (Chapman), a headstrong 13-year-old girl who uses her survival skills to subsist in the remnants of a strange and dangerous world with her ailing father, Darius (Brake). When Vesper finds a mysterious woman, Camellia (McEwen), alone and disoriented after an aerial crash, she agrees to help find her missing companion in exchange for safe passage to the Citadel-the dark central hub where oligarchs live in comfort thanks to state-of-the-art biotechnology. Vesper soon discovers that her brutal neighbor, Jonas (Marsan), is searching for Camellia, who is harboring a secret which could change all of their lives forever. Forced into a dangerous adventure, Vesper must rely on her wits and bio-hacking abilities to unlock the key to an alternate future.
Vesper Is an Immersive and Powerful Sci-Fi Survival Story
The filmmakers have described Vesper as an “immersive and powerful sci-fi survival story.” It is also said that IFC Films picked up the movie after they were impressed by the unique ideas that Kristina Buozyte and Bruno Samper bring to the table with the new movie, as noted when the acquisition was announced at Deadline.
Arianna Bocco, President of IFC Films, said in a statement: “Kristina Buozyte and Bruno Samper have crafted an immersive and powerful sci-fi survival story with a sweeping palette. Their creative vision of the future positions them as exciting new voices and we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring this film to audiences in September.”
Buozyte and Samper added, “IFC Films has released some of the most daring and inventive films of the last twenty years in the US. They are true lovers and active supporters of the theatrical experience, and as we created Vesper to be a singular, immersive experience for the big screen, we could not be more excited to be working with them to bring the film to the largest possible audience.”
Vesper will be released in movie theaters and on VOD on Sept. 30, 2022.
