Burn
Hell of a night
Directed by Mike Gan
Produced by Hopscotch Pictures, Film Mode Entertainment
A dark, tense character study of a lonely woman's dangerous manipulation of a gas station robbery, driven by her need for connection at any cost.
Lonely, unstable gas station attendant Melinda is tired of being overshadowed by her more confident, outgoing co-worker Sheila. When the gas station is held up at gunpoint by Billy, a desperate man in need of quick cash, Melinda finds an opportunity to make a connection with the robber, regardless of who gets hurt.
