It’s set to release on internationallyon Disney+at a later date. Along with the release date, Hulu and 20th Digital Studio released first look images.
InJagged Mind, Billie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) is bombarded with strange visions and blackouts. Thanks to these, she soon learns that she is caught ina series of time loops. Though she doesn’t know the exact cause, the time loops may be related to her mysterious new girlfriend, Alex (Shannon Woodward). The film is based off the short filmFirst Date, which appeared in Season 1 of 20th Digital’sBite Size Halloween. The feature was written byAllyson Morganand directed by Kali.
The images give little away as far as plot goes, instead focusing on the film’stwo main characters. Most of the photos are close-ups of each woman individually. They seem to bea potential date(first or otherwise). They’re poised in dark lighting, as whatever activity they’re engaged in is clearly set during the nighttime. Additionally, Sellers has a prominent red light shining on her that may or may not be ominous. Only one photo shows both women together, seemingly about to kiss.
