Hari Nef will lead the cast of the psychological drama 'Situation #64,' alongside Louisa Jacobson and director Oliver Edwin, marking Edwin's feature debut. The film, based on Edwin's original script, recently wrapped production in upstate New York. It explores the blurring lines between art and personal relationships among performers.
Overview
'Situation #64' is a high-concept psychological drama that delves into the complexities of performance art and past relationships. The story centers on a performance artist, played by Hari Nef, who reunites with her former collaborator and romantic partner, portrayed by Oliver Edwin, to prepare their last joint project. Tensions rise when Edwin's new partner, played by Louisa Jacobson, enters the scene, uncovering hidden aspects of their shared history and causing the boundaries between their artistic creation and real life to dissolve.

Insights from the Team
Nef shared her excitement: 'I finally get to say that I’m making a movie with my friends. Oliver is a young auteur of rare precision and sensitivity. Louisa is deeply talented and kind. Lizzie and Lexi are among the most intrepid, discerning indie producers I have ever worked with. “Situation #64” is the kind of film I have always wanted to do, and unlike any I’ve done yet.'
