“I was thinking we could do some number-crunching tonight – if you’re free.” Vertical has revealed their official trailer for a financial thriller film called Bull Run, made by filmmaker Alfredo Barrios Jr. as his feature directorial debut. It premiered at a film festival last year and will be out to watch on VOD later this month. In banking terms, a “bull run” is a period of sustained upward price movement in a market, such as stocks or cryptocurrencies, driven by investor confidence and optimism. The film follows a young former hockey player turned “high finance” banker working in NYC. In the wilds of Wall Street, one junior banker discovers that the only thing more dangerous than billion-dollar deals are the men signing them. Starring Tom Blyth with Chris Diamantopoulos, Jay Mohr, Zach Villa, Jordyn Denning, Ashwin Gore, Helena Mattson, Trevor Gretzky, Troy Garity, Sam Daly, and Alyshia Ochse. This film looks okay, but I’d rather recommend the excellent Fair Play film instead, also set in the cut-throat Wall Street offices.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Alfredo Barrios Jr.’s film Bull Run, direct from Vertical’s YouTube:
“Greed has its limits.” Bobby Sanders (Tom Blyth), a hustling, fast-talking ex-pro-hockey-player-turned-junior-banker, navigates the quirky and somewhat surreal world of high finance as he confronts life’s meaning within his gilded cage. Bull Run is directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Alfredo Barrios Jr., making his feature film directorial debut after working on some TV series and a few short films previously. The screenplay is written by Alfredo Barrios Jr and Bill Keenan. Produced by Bill Keenan, Doug Ellin, Karen Baldwin, Howard Baldwin, Andrew Sugerman, Bill Immerman. This first premiered at the 2024 Newport Beach Film Festival last year but didn’t show up anywhere else. Vertical will release Barrios Jr’s Bull Run movie in select US theaters + on VOD starting November 14th, 2025 this fall. Anyone interested in this?
