Swell

Swell is a smartphone app that changes your mood through sound. When a young couple tries to control each other’s settings, they find their relationship threatened by an unintended cacophony of emotions.

Directed by Bridget Savage Cole, Swell leans on a strong ensemble — Britt Lower, Gabriel Luna, Natasha Loring — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 2016.
