O Horizon

The film is written and directed by Madeleine Sackler, an heir to Purdue Pharma. Her family's company pleaded guilty to criminal charges over its marketing of OxyContin in 2020 and is regarded as the primary culprit to the opioid epidemic in America in the 20th century. According to ArtNet, one member of the crew quit in protest of this fact. Another crew member, set dresser Caroline Pigou, said that "The script is extremely parallel to Madeleine's experience of the loss of her dad, and clearly very related to what he did with drugs. Everyone on the crew would talk about how fucked up and weird it was that this movie was getting made in the first place."
