The film stars Christopher Backus (Black Bird) and Jake T. Austin (The Fosters) and features executive production by Academy Award-winner Mira Sorvino.
Set to release on digital and on-demand platforms on November 12th, 2024, DAFT STATE explores the unrelenting psychological breakdown of Easton (played by Backus).

The haunting score is composed by Mike McCready, known for his ability to heighten tension through sound.
