The Zellner Brothers made their distinct, directorial style known with the endearing and oddball, “Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter.” That put them on the radar of cinephile Robert Pattinson, and now the trio have teamed up for the wacky western, “Damsel.”

Samuel Alabaster, an affluent pioneer, ventures across the American Frontier to marry the love of his life, Penelope.

The film will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival which runs from January 18-28.
