Catching Dust – The Texas-noir, starring Erin Moriarty and Jai Courtney, gets a UK release date

Following its World Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival and its US release in cinemas this summer, British writer/director Stuart Gatt’s debut feature, the compelling Texas-noir Catching Dust will be available in the UK on VOD from 20 January 2025.

Starring Erin Moriarty (The Boys, True Detective), Jai Courtney (Suicide Squad, Terminal List), Dina Shihabi (Archive 81, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) and Ryan Corr (House of the Dragon, High Ground), the film received rave reviews from the US, praising the stand-out performances of the cast, the gripping story and evocative cinematography shot on stunning 35mm.

Geena (Erin Moriarty) and her violent criminal husband Clyde (Jai Courtney) hide out in an abandoned commune in the Texas desert, hunted by the law and his former gang members looking to settle old scores. Geena is desperate for interaction with the outside world and exhausted by Clyde’s controlling ways. She decides to leave, but a trailer suddenly arrives carrying Amaya (Dina Shihabi) and Andy (Ryan Corr), a vacationing couple from New York City seeking to save their troubled marriage. Ignoring the risks their presence will bring, Geena convinces Clyde to let them stay, a decision with dangerous consequences for them all.
