Failed Writer Confronts Disturbing Manuscript in Indie Thriller 'Autobiography'

In the upcoming indie thriller 'Autobiography', Cougar Town alum Dan Byrd stars as Bryce, a failed writer who attends his high school reunion with his wife. Rather than reuniting with an old bully as expected, Bryce comes face-to-face with a strange interloper named Jeb, played by Sam Gilroy. Jeb has a disturbing manuscript in his possession - the story of Bryce's life, written without his knowledge and with a violent ending yet to happen.

The film, which marks the directorial debut of Jennifer Downes and John Pena Griswold, explores themes of online identity and the loss of control over one's own narrative in a world where careers, relationships, and even trauma are shaped into consumable content. As Bryce confronts this unsettling situation, the movie delves into the implications of living our lives as curated characters in our own sagas.
