From the Press Release:

SYFY Films today announces the release of the upcoming film HOVER, in theaters on June 29, 2018 and on VOD and Digital HD on July 3, 2018. Directed by Matt Osterman (400 DAYS, “Ghost from the Machine”), the science fiction film marks the feature screenwriting debut of Cleopatra Coleman (“The Last Man on Earth,” “White Famous”). The cast includes Coleman, Shane Coffey (“Pretty Little Liars,” “Sugar Mountain”), Craig muMs Grant (“Oz,” “Birdman”), Beth Grant (“The Mindy Project,” “No Country for Old Men”), Fabianne Therese (“Teenage Cocktail,” “Southbound”) and Rhoda Griffis (“Walk the Line,” “The Blind Side”).

HOVER takes place in the near future, where environmental strain has caused food shortages around the world. Technology provides a narrow path forward, with agricultural drones maximizing the yield from what land remains. Two compassionate care providers, Claudia (Coleman) and her mentor John (Craig muMs Grant), work to assist sick farmland inhabitants in ending their lives. After John dies under mysterious circumstances, a group of locals helps Claudia to uncover a deadly connection between the health of her clients and the technology they are using.

HOVER is produced by Travis Stevens of Snowfort Pictures (“Jodorowsky’s Dune,” “We Are Still Here”) and Claire Haley.
