Emilio From The Executive Producer of Out of Africa Emilio is the soulful tale of a young man (19 years) who leaves his village in Mexico looking for his kidnapped sister. His journey leads him to Los Angeles, where we see the city through the eyes of a penniless illegal immigrant on a desperate quest. The City of Angels itself becomes in a sense the second character of this movie as Emilio's needle-in-a-haystack search takes him through the gritty contrasts of Skid Row, East L.A., Echo Park, Watts, Torrance, Venice Beach, Beverly Hills, and the West Hollywood hills. The panorama of characters he encounters include Mexican day laborers, drug dealers, transients, skateboarders, disco queens, actors, and upwardly mobile socialites constituting at once a searing social criticism and celebration of a city. As it moves towards its inexorable conclusion, this coming of age story comes into its own above all as a heroic portrait of determination. "Emilio" delivers an ENGROSSING and sometimes VIBRANT portrait of a naive Mexican kid's sink-or-swim encounter with the urban beast that is contempo Los Angeles.- Todd McCarthy, Variety |
| The Rat Thing An award winning (all festivals attended) comedy.. Two down and out friends living in Venice, California, struggle in social and economic deprivation. They reach the point where they can't go on. Escalating pressures force them to hatch a wild, get-rich-quick scheme in a last ditch attempt to solve "all of their problems". What transpires is a perfect example of "the best laid plans of mice and men" where reality trumps delusion and, in one comic turn after another, depravity gives way to humanity. No wonder this comedy has delighted audiences winning awards in all of six of the festivals in which it appeared! | |

| 100 Feet Her husband is dead and he's taking the news badly! A young woman, Marnie Watson (Famke Janssen: Xmen, Hide & Seek, Nip/Tuck), is granted early release from her prison sentence for manslaughter (killing her husband - a violent NYC cop - in self defense) on condition she wear an electronic bracelet and remain within her home, effectively under house arrest, for the remainder of her sentence. Her late husband's partner (Bobby Cannavale: Third Watch, Fast Food Nation, Snakes on a Plane, Will & Grace) keeps tabs on her from a patrol car parked across the street, hoping she'll violate probation and he can send her back to prison. But the 100-foot radius her ankle bracelet allows isn't the worst of her problems. Her dead husband - now a malevolent ghost - is still in the house, where he died - intent on savage revenge. Written and Directed by Eric Red (The Hitcher, Near Dark, Blue Steel). |
