Erin Moriarty Thriller ‘Catching Dust’ Acquired by Vertical, Slated for Release in Select Theaters (EXCLUSIVE)

As a seasoned movie critic who has witnessed the evolution of cinematic storytelling over the past few decades, I must say that ‘Catching Dust’ piques my interest with its intriguing premise and the promising talent behind it. Stuart Gatt, a newcomer to feature directing, seems to have harnessed the power of freedom and support to create a compelling world on screen. With Erin Moriarty and Jai Courtney leading the cast, I am eager to see how their transformative performances will captivate audiences.


The movie titled “Tribeca Film Festival Selection” is penned and helmed by Stuart Gatt, featuring Moriarty and Jai Courtney in the lead roles. The plot revolves around Geena, who ultimately chooses to depart from her criminal spouse, Clyde, in their secluded Texas hideout. This decision is made when a pair from New York unexpectedly show up, seeking refuge from city life. Overlooking potential hazards associated with their presence, Geena persuades Clyde to allow them to stay, leading to outcomes fraught with danger.

“Mark David and Jon Katz fostered an atmosphere that encouraged creativity and support, enabling me and the team to bring ‘Catching Dust’ to life according to our unique vision,” Gatt stated. “Observing Erin Moriarty and Jai Courtney, along with the rest of our talented cast, arrive on set every day with unwavering dedication to their roles was a profoundly inspiring experience.”

I’m thrilled to share: “I’m genuinely ecstatic about sharing this movie and the outstanding acts it features with viewers. I can’t think of a better team than Vertical and Fortitude International to help us accomplish this mission.”

As a passionate admirer, I’m thrilled to share that this movie marks Gatt’s first foray into feature directing. Notably, it was jointly produced by Mark David, Jon Katz, Edward R. Pressman, and none other than the talented Gatt himself.

In this transaction, Tony Piantedosi from Vertical’s leadership team took charge, handling the negotiations as Vertical’s representative. Simultaneously, UTA’s Independent Film Group served as the representatives for the production during the negotiation process. Lastly, Fortitude International is overseeing foreign sales for the film.
