Run Amok is a 2026 American drama film written and directed by NB Mager in her feature directorial debut. It is based on her Oscar-qualifying short film of the same name. The film stars Alyssa Marvin, Patrick Wilson, Margaret Cho, Elizabeth Marvel, and Molly Ringwald.
It premiered in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival on January 26, 2026.[1]
Meg (Alyssa Marvin), a high school student, attempts to process the aftermath of a school tragedy by staging an elaborate musical about the “one day her high school wishes it could forget.” Her artistic endeavor brings her into conflict with the adults in her community, whose platitudes and empty promises obscure the genuine emotional processing needed by the students.[2]
The film is written and directed by NB Mager. It is adapted from her short film Run Amok (2023), which screened at the Athena Film Festival and was shortlisted for Academy Award consideration.[3] The feature is produced by Julie Christeas and Frank Hall Green of Tandem Pictures.
Principal photography took place in New York, with production tracking lists confirming a shoot date in January 2025.[4]
Run Amok was selected for the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, which will be held between January 22 and February 1, 2026.[5] It has been cited by critics as one of the “Most Anticipated” films of the festival.[6]
