Watch RODDY BOTTUM in the trailer for Sebastián Silva’s ‘Tyrel’

Roddy Bottum has previously worked in the movies providing scores to various films. In Tyrel,  the upcoming drama film directed by Chilean Sebastián Silva, Roddy has his first onscreen speaking role. 

Roddy plays Dylan. Tyrel follows Tyler, who joins his friend on a trip to the Catskills for a weekend birthday party with several people he doesn’t know. As soon as they get there, it’s clear that (1) he’s the only black guy, and (2) it’s going to be a weekend of heavy drinking. Although Tyler is welcomed, he can’t help but feel uneasy in “Whitesville.” The combination of all the testosterone and alcohol starts to get out of hand, and Tyler’s precarious situation starts to feel like a nightmare.

Roddy spoke to Faith No More 2.0 about the project.

“I just finished two weeks shooting a film called Tyrel by director Sebastian Silva. He’s a good friend of mine and asked me to be in his new movie. It is sort of an ensemble piece about a group of guys that go on a birthday weekend trip up to the Catskills in a cabin. Michael Cera, Caleb Landry Jones [Get Out], Jason Mitchell [Straight Outta Compton] and Chris Abbott also star.”

Magnolia Pictures will release Tyrel in theaters December 5th.
