Reykjavik, Iceland – May 26, 2014 – Maika Monroe (Labor Day, At Any Price, Bling Ring) and Matt O’Leary (Eden, The Lone Ranger, Brick) are set to star in Bokeh, an indie, sci-fi drama set in Iceland.
Bokeh asks the question: Can love last when everything else is gone?

Dirk Junge is the Executive Producer. Emily Schweber cast the picture.
Bokeh is the first feature film for writer/directors Geoffrey Orthwein and Andrew Sullivan.
Monroe was the indie darling of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival for her turn as Jay in David Robert Mitchell’s provocative horror film, It Follows.
O'Leary starred in SXSW Audience Award winners, Eden and Fat Kid Rules the World. He also won the "Breakthrough Performance" award at the 2011 SXSW Film Festival for Natural Selection.
Principal photography on Bokeh begins in Reykavik, Iceland this June.
