EXCLUSIVE: Max Martini (Pacific Rim) and Brianna Hildebrand (Deadpool & Wolverine) are starring in the thriller Bethesda, the directorial debut from Andrew and Isaac Lewis, also known as The Lewis Brothers. The film has completed production.

Bethesda is described as a neo-Western thriller set in desolate West Texas in the early ’90s. The story centers on a dying ex-Texas Ranger with a violent past, and the young woman he rescues from a life of drugs and forced prostitution. After killing the brother of a border-town crime lord, the two broken strangers go into hiding from the pseudo-philosophical assassin hired to kill them. While on the run, they find redemption within each other in this dark and violent land where the line between good and evil is blurred, where the only rule is that of survival. The screenplay was written by Matt Black.

Also starring are James Landry Hebert (Horizon, 1883), Julio Cedar Cedillo (A Million Miles Away, The Black Demon), Veronica Falcón (Imaginary, Queen of the South) and Marlene Forte (Knives Out, Star Trek). 

Executive producer is Paul Reichelt of Appalachian Film. Bethesda is produced by William Kaufman (The Channel, Osiris) alongside Andrew and Isaac Lewis for Denton Film, Jon Wroblewski and Christian Sosa for Roosevelt Film Lab, Adrian Testolin, and Grant Wakefield. This is the third collaboration between Roosevelt Film and Denton Film.
