About The Sweet East Movie:

The Sweet East is an American satirical surrealist road film directed by Sean Price Williams in his directorial debut from a screenplay by Nick Pinkerton. It stars Talia Ryder, Earl Cave, Simon Rex, Ayo Edebiri, Jeremy O. Harris, Jacob Elordi and Rish Shah.

Sean Price Williams thought no one would give him money to make his directorial debut, until Alex Ross Perry used his agency connections to secure the cast in order to gain financing.

The Sweet East had its world premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival in the Directors’ Fortnight section on May 18, 2023. It was also screened at the New York Film Festival on October 10, 2023. Utopia acquired distribution rights to the film in July 2023. It was released on December 1, 2023.
