I’m late to help get the word out on this (as SXSW has been all-encompassing) – but without further ado:
These are the 3 “teasers” for LOVERS OF HATE, the new film by Bryan Poyser, premiering on IFC On Demand on March 12, 2010. It premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival in the US Dramatic Competition and screened at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival.
“In this savage comedy about deceit and sibling rivalry, two estranged brothers, Rudy and Paul, have nothing in common but their love for the same woman. When Paul whisks her away to a romantic mountain retreat, the lovers have no idea that Rudy has made it there first. From the shadows of the posh chalet, Rudy tries desperately to sabotage the relationship in director Bryan Poyser’s brilliantly executed game of cat and mouse.”

Sundance was a great experience this year — great to see a lot of old friends and make a bunch of news ones as well. LOVERS OF HATE played well throughout the fest, and I was able to attend 3 of its screenings (at the Library, Eccles and Racquet Club). There have been many, many great things said about the film — here are a couple of them:
indieWIRE
1 of the 10 Best Films at Sundance — “An engaging, well-crafted film made on a minimal budget that is well-acted and cleverly written. Bryan Poyser’s latest showcases a bizarre love triangle with the elements of a stirring thriller.”
LAWEEKLY
“Lovers of Hate is a star-free, bare-bones comedy in which three actors talk and walk around a house for 90 minutes. It’s also the most exciting American indie I’ve seen in a while.”
Movie City News
“Bryan Poyser’s Lovers of Hate is the kind of tiny brilliant gem that low-budget indie films ought to be and so seldom are.”
FirstShowing.net
“It’s a charming film with real comedic teeth.”
The Wrap: Covering Hollywood
“Some movies build Sundance buzz; others deserve it. Bryan Poyser’s “Lovers of Hate” falls into the latter category.”
Film School Rejects
“Deeply felt, operatic emotions lie at the heart of Bryan Poyser’s Lovers of Hate. That they’re disguised beneath the exterior of a low-fi indie picture makes for an experience that’s strange, unsettling and wholly unpredictable. Few comparable dramas boast such an offbeat, creepy edge. While largely sticking with one location Poyser lends the central triangular relationship sinister, biblical overtones, producing a three character movie that inspires a mix of sympathy and revulsion for everyone involved.”
Voice Film
“Lovers of Hate puts the sparse means of production and naturalistic feel of mumblecore to the service of a genre film — physical comedy with a gilding of near-horror — fueled by the Swiss-watch comic timing of leads Chris Doubek (his nearly-wordless performance in the film’s second half is silent-horror perfection) and Alex Karpovsky and grounded by the bravery and emotional precision of actress Heather Kafka.”
I’m incredibly happy for the Lovers of Hate team — and couldn’t be happier for Writer/Director Bryan Poyser and Producer Megan Gilbride — both of whom willed this movie into existence and brought it full circle from shooting in Park City, Utah — to 1 year later World Premiering the film at the most prestigious film festival in the country — in Park City, Utah.
