In A Bigger Splash, rock legend Marianne Lane is recuperating on the volcanic island of Pantelleria with her partner Paul when
iconoclast record producer and old flame Harry unexpectedly arrives with his daughter Penelope and interrupts their holiday, bringing with him an A-bomb blast of nostalgia from which there can be no rescue. A Bigger Splash is a sensuous portrait of desire,
jealousy and rock and roll, under the Mediterranean sun.
Marketing/Promotion: Reach out to rock radio stations and team up for promotional opportunities since the film focuses on a
fictional rock legend. Partner with Mediterranean and seafood restaurants for dinner and a movie packages that can be included in
a date night promotion. Advertising can highlight positive reviews and critical buzz the movie generates. It competed for the Golden
Lion award at the 72nd Venice International Film Festival. The film will be great adult counter-programming to some of the big budget films at the beginning of the summer season.
