Factory, in conjunction with IFC Films, brings something for all movie lovers this June. Details on these films can be found below:

Synopsis: Raised by an abusive father, Cash (Stephen Dorff) channels his aggression to become a World Champion MMA fighter. Now accustomed to wealth, adulation and global popularity, he faces a new challenge when his second son is born with Williams Syndrome. But this time, rather than stand and fight, he runs. While Cash continues to make his fortune in the ring, his eldest son, Jett (Darren Mann), becomes the caregiver to his younger brother, Quinn (Colin McKenna). When Jett decides to follow in his father’s fighting footsteps, he faces his past head on, embarking on a course inevitably pitting father versus son in a battle which, no matter the outcome, neither can win. Director Nick Sarkisov and screenwriter David McKenna (American History X) “give us fully drawn, realistic male characters slugging it out [in] one of the boldest, strongest films of 2020. Really” (Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News).

Synopsis: In the remote wilderness, fur trapper Joseph Mersault (Devon Sawa, Idle Hands, The Fanatic) and his family struggle to make ends meet.

Howell, The Midnight Man), on their own as he launches a determined search to catch the apex predator in the act. Growing increasingly anxious as Joseph’s absence continues on, Anne reaches new heights of paranoia when a mysterious and severely injured man appears on her doorstep — and soon the threat of a predator in the woods becomes a threat much closer to home. “An extraordinary entry in the modern horror canon” (Richard Whittaker, Austin Chronicle), Hunter Hunter is a heart-stopping, deep-woods thriller that will stick with you no matter where you are …

He is quickly met with an audience who are not yet ready for him.
