The Tower (2026)
RELIGION OF MESS. A kaleidoscopic tapestry of colorful characters collide in a small Iowa town. Runaway children make a movie, aging idealists hatch a dangerous plan, aimless townie girls get into mischief, a mysterious mother digs for buried treasure, and shirtless man ponders the meaning of the town’s towers. Spooky, serendipitous resonances bubble up between stories where people play themselves in fictionalized as well as real life scenarios. In a world in crisis, filmmaking itself becomes a form of coping and celebration.
Directors: Auden Lincoln-Vogel, Philip Rabalais.
