No Love Lost follows a troubled young woman who brings her new boyfriend home, which prompts her devoted but insular sisters to reveal the extremes they will go to protect one another.
The Gotham Week Project Market is a selective event known for launching Oscar-winning films. It acts as a curated marketplace for fiction and documentary feature films, series, and audio projects ranging from early stages of development to near-completion. The creators of these works are hosted by Gotham and invited to meet with hundreds of industry professionals from around the world to forge connections and help their film get distributed or funded. Over the last four decades, The Gotham Week Project Market has played a vital role in launching the careers of now-established filmmakers.
The Project Market runs from September 17–23 in person and virtually at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York.
