Watch A Clip From One Of My Favorite Movies Of Sundance 2011 – Zal Batmanglij’s ‘Sound Of My Voice’

The movie will be playing at the South by Southwest Film Festival in March, and the producers have released what’s being called a trailer, but what in actuality is a one and a half minute clip from the very beginning of the film (so there are no spoilers in as much as you’re watching the first minute or so of the movie). It’s probably not the most interesting clip either, as this is the type of story that takes a little while to build. Either way, you can watch the clip embedded after the jump.

Official Plot Synopsis:
Peter and Lorna, a young Silver Lake couple, delve into the underworld of a cult that meets in the San Fernando valley. At the center of the group is an enigmatic young woman named Maggie who never leaves her basement chamber. The members follow Maggie blindly—growing her food, obsessively sanitizing the house, giving her their own blood for transfusions. But why? We follow Peter and Lorna as they smuggle hidden cameras into Maggie’s basement bent on exposing her as a charlatan and freeing the members from her spell.
