Sender

After receiving a series of unnervingly personal packages she never ordered, a woman, newly sober and starting over, spirals into paranoia, convinced someone is watching her. As the online retailer denies responsibility, her search for the anonymous sender sends her down a dangerous rabbit hole, forcing her to confront her past and the fragile reality she’s trying to rebuild. A tense psychological descent into surveillance, recovery, and self-doubt.

“Boldly off-kilter, brilliant and bizarre, its dark humor and taut psychological horror are laced together in a delightfully heady blend.” - Variety

“A mesmerizing psychological thriller… Russell Goldman‘s feature film debut is as intriguing as it gets, a fantasia of paranoia and twisted truths and lies roaming though a woman’s disheveled life that reminds me of movies like Todd Haynes’ Safe. You may be thinking about this one for days after experiencing it.” - Pete Hammond, Deadline

“Unnerving and smart, thoughtful and off-kilter, and it will really make you think twice before hitting “Buy Now” on any app.” - IndieWire

“Goldman isn’t just stepping into the feature film space. He’s making his presence well known as someone who’s capable of crafting a wildly ambitious, beautifully bizarre and trippy ride with a whole lot of thematic heft. - Collider

Premiered at SXSW on March 14, 2026.
