Into the Screen has released a new set of photos and posters from sci-fi romance Upside Down, co-written and directed by Juan Diego Solanas.
Upside Down is a film produced by a French box, Studio 37, where the filming took place in Montreal, before the cameras of the Argentine director Juan Solanas.

Numbed by the 9-to-5 conformity of real life after university, the party provides a welcome escape full of drinking, smoking, making-out, and bag-tag. But when a near-death experience, a pregnancy, and the appearance of past rivals disrupt the night, each must take a crash course in growing up or risk succumbing to a life of false comfort and complacencyFinally, the film was directed by Phil Borg. He also wrote the script with Julian DeZotti.
Besides, the film stars Julian DeZotti, Joanna Douglas...
