Tuner Premieres at Telluride to Strong Reviews With No Distributor Yet

UTA is shopping the film as early write-ups spotlight Leo Woodall plus the sound-centered craft.

Overview

  • Daniel Roher, the Oscar-winning director of Navalny, makes his narrative debut with this character-driven, genre-blending drama.
  • The Telluride world premiere drew praise for Woodall’s breakout lead turn and Dustin Hoffman’s warmly received supporting role.
  • The story follows a gifted pianist with hyperacusis who becomes a sought-after piano tuner and crosses paths with thieves.
  • The film launched without a distribution deal; UTA is handling sales and trade coverage indicates Black Bear could be a buyer.
  • Critics highlight meticulous sound work by Johnnie Burns and original music from de Vries, with Will Bates providing the underscore.
