Tribeca Festival 2023 Interview: Josiah Allen and Indianna Bell Talk You’ll Never Find Me (Exclusive)

Exploring the authenticity of desire and the tricks people play on themselves and others in order to achieve those yearnings is a powerful driving forced within genre movies. That’s certainly the case for the two characters in the new intimate horror thriller, ‘You’ll Never Find Me.’

The project marks the feature film directorial and producing debuts of Josiah Allen and Indianna Bell. Allen also edited, and Bell also wrote, the drama. The duo made their feature debuts after they previously worked on several shorts together, including the 2018 thriller, ‘The Recordist’ and the 2019 drama, ‘Call Connect.’

In ‘You’ll Never Find Me,’ a young woman (Jordan Cowan), who’s soaking wet and seemingly shaken to her core, knocks at a stranger’s door in an RV park. At first glance, she appears to only be looking for shelter and comfort.

The woman initially finds help in the care and concern shown to her by the lonely elderly man who lives alone in the RV, Patrick (Brendan Rock). But soon, that care transforms into curiosity. In the small RV, shaking from the raging rain and wind outside, paranoia also begins to spread between them.

Both parties doubt the motives and desires of the other. As uncertainty and nervousness heat up and questions begin to arise, things turn dangerous for the duo. Perceptions of what’s real and what’s not come into play, and all roads lead them to a deadly and bizarre showdown.

The new Australian-based movie had its World Premiere at last year’s Tribeca Festival in New York City. ‘You’ll Never Find Me’ begins streaming today on Shudder.

Allen and Bell generously took the time to talk about penning, helming, producing and editing the thriller during an exclusive interview at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Lower Manhattan last June during the Tribeca Festival. Listen to the interview with the filmmakers above.
