NSI Features First-developed Level 16 from writer/director Danishka Esterhazy has its east coast premiere next week in New York as part of the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival.

Trapped in a sterile facility, 16-year-old Vivien (Katie Douglas) is taught the finer points of ‘feminine virtues’ by a Stepford-like headmistress (Sara Canning) and left to question what fate awaits her when she ages out of the institution.

Level 16 screens Wednesday, October 17 at Nitehawk Cinema.
