THE ROOST - COMEDY
When the owner of a Brooklyn karaoke club dies, leaving the bar to her neurotic son, a pair of bizarre karaoke fanatics compete to convert the sensitive new owner to their opposing views of how their little community should go forward. Bar Fly meets The Big Lebowski meets Big Night meets Bottle Rocket with lots of fun music and a racially diverse cast of characters.
THE WILD BLUE SKY - DRAMA
This intimate portrait of a thirty-something couple in crisis is loosely based on
Georg Buchner's 1837 tragedy Woyzeck set against the backdrop of the 1990’s
Brooklyn Post-Punk Renaissance. Scenes From a Marriage meets Sid & Nancy
meets A Woman Under the Influence meets Morvern Callar with an experimental
punk soundtrack.
A troubled teenaged girl becomes haunted by ghosts from her Holocaust survivor father’s past. A highly visual endeavor, the project is set in early-1980s New York, veering brutally from synagogues to punk clubs to a Nazi death camp as the girl struggles to discover why she has become a vessel of death. Jacob’s Ladder meets The Night Porter meets The Shining steeped in Jewish mysticism.
