Lucy Liu, This is Us star, Chris Sullivan, Callina Liang, Julia Fox, Eddy Maday, West Mulholland, and Director Steven Soderbergh premiere Presence at the Sundance Film Festival last night. The film follows a family that moves into a suburban home and becomes convinced they're not alone. Shot entirely in one location, it promises to haunt audiences with its otherworldly story and constantly awe-inspiring visuals. Working from a taut, mysterious script by David Koepp, Presence is a thrilling cinematic ride that cements Soderbergh's status as an icon of American independent film. It's also the first of his films to premiere at Sundance since his directorial debut of Sex, Lies, and Videotape in 1989.

00:05 (upbeat music)
00:07 I play Rebecca and I play the mom
00:14 and it's about a family, so it's the four of us.
00:19 - Do you relate as a mom to your character?
00:22 - Well, you'll see.
00:26 - It's different.
00:29 - So I play the role of Ryan.
00:31 He has this really strong connection with Kalina
00:33 because we're both sort of broken humans
00:35 and I think that's where we find our connection
00:37 and that's where we really bond in the film.
00:39 I just met Julia actually today,
00:41 which was, she's so sweet, so wonderful.
00:44 Lucy and Chris are like the greatest.
00:47 They are like leading us and showing us the ropes
00:50 and they're such great mentors.
00:52 - So I play Chloe and she is a very traumatized teenager.
00:56 I think she's been through a lot for her age
00:58 and yeah, she's really learning and growing and exploring
01:00 and she develops this interesting relationship
01:03 with the presence and yeah, it's very interesting for sure.
01:08 - Oh my God, it was magical.
01:09 I learned so much.
01:11 Like every day on set felt like a master class
01:13 in cinematography.
01:14 Like watching the way Steven works was,
01:16 it was insane, you know?
01:18 - My best piece of life advice, don't give up.

01:25 Don't give up on yourself.
