When we ask young men and women to go to war, what are we asking of them? And when they return, what are we thanking them for?
These are the two essential questions posed by Thank You for Your Service, the fact-based film of the book of the same name by David Finkel that follows a group of infantry soldiers returning home after combat on the front lines in Bagdad, Iraq. As they struggle to integrate back into family and civilian life, they must face living with the memory of a war that threatens to destroy them long after they've left the battlefield.
Miles Teller is a soldier coming home to his child and wife, IMTA alum Haley Bennett, after serving in the Middle East. While initially he is happy to be home and spending time with his beautiful wife, PTSD quickly rears its ugly head. Reluctant to discuss what went on over there, he struggles to deal with the price of war and what he’s brought home with him. The cast also includes Hunter Burke, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Joe Cole, Omar J. Dorsey, Scott Haze, Amy Schumer and Kate Lyn Sheil.

It is not difficult to see that IMTA alum Sunny Suljic’s acting career is taking off. The young actor is receiving kudos for his role starring opposite Hollywood heavyweights Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell in the critically acclaimed The Killing of a Sacred Deer that opens in limited release on Friday. Alicia Silversone, Barry Keoghan and Bill Camp also star in the film that has been screening at numerous international film festivals—including its debut at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival where it was nominated for the Palm d’Or, the highest prize at the festival, and won the award for Best Screenplay.
In The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Anna and Steven Murphy are a married couple with two lovely children. She's a dentist, he's a doctor, and the kids are well adjusted—in short, the seemingly perfect family. Into this family comes Martin, a young man who happens to be the son of a former patient of Farrell's—a patient who is now dead, presumably at the hands of Dr. Murphy. As Martin integrates himself further into the Murphy family’s lives he makes a demand: the Murphy's must decide which of their kids is going to die and if they can't decide, the entire family will perish. The Killing of a Sacred Deer is an adaptation of the Greek myth of Agamemnon in which he kills a deer sacred to the goddess Artemis and is instructed to kill his daughter Iphigenia to appease her.
