Mountain Rest is both written and directed by American filmmaker Alex O Eaton, making his feature directorial debut with this film after making music videos for years previously.

Mountain Rest, the film Eaton wrote that summer, is a tense, imagistic drama with an almost somnambulant rhythm and a honeyed, incandescent glow thanks to director of photography Ashley Connor.

At it’s core, Mountain Rest is a female-driven project—both on and off screen—about three generations of women, which is what attracted Dyer to sign onto the film.

Olsen made the announcement in an Instagram post, writing, “Last summer I had the pleasure of witnessing my dear friend [Eaton] during the making of her first major feature film, Mountain Rest ...

We are thrilled to bring Alex’s feature debut to audiences everywhere this year.” Eaton added, “I’m thrilled to have FilmRise release my first film, Mountain Rest.
