"Don't Leave Home"
Directed by the Austin-based Michael Tully, the SXSW Film Festival chiller Don’t Leave Home finds an artist traveling from the United States to Ireland to create a commissioned diorama for a former priest. The diorama is based on a 1986 religious painting by the former priest, which has become the focus of an urban legend. The priest’s subject, a young girl, disappeared without a trace before the paint could even dry. Anna Margaret Hollyman’s artist Melanie Thomas quickly realizes that something is not quite right in the country home Father Alistair Burke shares with his trusted but overbearing housekeeper Shelley. Don’t Leave Home will screen during the SXSW Film Festival at 1:45 p.m. March 10 at the Zach Theatre, 3:45 p.m. March 11 at the AFS Cinema, 10:45 p.m. March 14 at the Alamo South Lamar; and 4:45 p.m. March 15 at the Alamo Ritz. Michael Tully previously directed Cocaine Angel, Silver Jew, Septien and Ping Pong Summer. Anna Margaret Hollyman is an Austin-based actress who starred in White Reindeer and appeared in The Color Wheel, Gayby, Mr. Roosevelt, and the Bob Byington-directed comedies Somebody Up There Likes Me and 7 Chinese Brothers. In addition to Don’t Leave Home, Anna Margaret Hollyman stars in two additional projects that will screen during this year’s SXSW Film Festival: Maude, the short film she wrote and directed, and the pilot of the web series Cleansed.
