Joseph Quinn's first post-Stranger Things movie gets first look

Venice Film Festival Critics Week has released the first look at Hoard, Joseph Quinn's first post-Stranger Things outing.

Written and directed by UK filmmaker Luna Carmoon, the indie film is in competition at Venice Film Festival Critics Week.

Hoard is a "tale of mother and daughter," first following main character Maria as a child, then skipping ahead to her as an 18-year-old navigating both the past and the present. Things become even more complicated when a man named Michael (Quinn) comes to stay (H/T Deadline). Per the synopsis: "The shimmering memories that she once suppressed begin to haunt her; as grief never really heals does it? It simply disguises itself in things."

The cast also includes Saura Lightfoot Leon, Hayley Squires, Lily-Beau Leach, and Deba Hekmat.

Per the SIC Venezia website, the film is split into two timelines: 1984: "There’s a landfill in our living room – Mother and Maria’s world feels like sparkles down spines, Christmas is every day in their nidus of love" and 1994: "He handed her to me, its weight would come in waves – Maria’s last day of school. As she arrives home, at the top stairs, waiting, are two bare feet. A tall odd man, a stranger who has a familiar scent of trauma, a childhood pain, a Gemini of knowing stings – Michael."

An excerpt of the film screened last year as part of the BFI London Film Festival's Works-in-Progress showcase, where each feature film is either currently in project, post-production, or near-completion.

Quinn broke the Internet and stole our hearts as Eddie Munson in Stranger Things season 4 (and we're still not over what happened to his character). Following his massive success, the actor landed a lead role in both A Quiet Place: Day One and Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2.
