Wyatt Rockefeller’s feature narrative debut, Settlers, the sci-fi western thriller film starring Sofia Boutella, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Brooklynn Prince, Nell Tiger Free, and Jonny Lee Miller will world premiere at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival. Following the premiere, IFC Midnight will release the film in select theaters and on digital rental/VOD on July 23rd.

Settlers takes place on a remote homestead on the Martian frontier, as a refugee family from Earth clings to hope for a better life. But when strangers appear in the surrounding hills and attempt to run them off, nine-year-old Remmy (Brooklynn Prince) is faced with the desperate reality her mother (Sofia Boutella) and father (Jonny Lee Miller) have tried so hard to keep from her.

Director Wyatt Rockefeller added, “I’ve discovered some of my favorite movies and filmmakers thanks to IFC. They are champions of independent voices and innovators in their own right. I can’t think of a better home for our sci-fi western about the gut-wrenching choices a family has to make to stay alive.”
