THE LAST RITES OF JOE MAY, directed by Joe Maggio, stars Dennis Farina as Joe May, a down on his luck short money hustler who always believed his future would be brighter than it turned out to be. Following a bout with pneumonia, May returns to his cold Chicago neighborhood to find his car impounded, his possessions pawned and apartment rented by his landlord who had assumed him dead. Saved by the good graces of the new tenants a single mother named Jenny and her eight year-old daughter, Joe is welcomed in until he lands on his feet. But when things turn ugly between Jenny and her crooked cop boyfriend, Joe is determined to stand up for his unlikely new family, and perhaps take one last shot at redefining his legacy.
MAN ON THE TRAIN
Donald Sutherland and Larry Mullen, Jr. star in this English language remake of Patrice Leconte's award-winning French crime drama, directed by Mary McGuckian. When a mysterious criminal rolls into a small town planning to knock off the local bank, a chance encounter with a retired professor allows them both to reevaluate the course of their lives.
COLLABORATOR
Martin Donovan wrote, directs and stars alongside David Morse, Olivia Williams, and Katherine Helmond in this fiercely funny and insightful drama of two former childhood neighbors who reunite after years apart in their childhood town when one takes the other hostage. Robert Longfellow (Martin Donovan, Weeds ) is a famous playwright who can't seem to catch a break. His recent Broadway play was met with horrible reviews and an early cancellation, and his marriage is being tested when an old flame (Olivia Williams, RUSHMORE) has re-entered his life. Retreating back to his childhood home to visit his mother (Katherine Helmond, BRAZIL), Robert crosses paths with his childhood neighbor, polar opposite Gus (David Morse, THE GREEN MILE), an ex-con who still lives at home with his mother. When Gus holds Robert hostage at gunpoint during a drunken reunion gone wrong, this blackly comic drama unfolds as social status, celebrity, and the imminent threat of violence converge, building up to a climax that will leave both men forever changed.
SUPPORTING CHARACTERS
Best friends Nick (Alex Karpovsky, Girls ) and Darryl (Tarik Lowe, WHIPLASH) are a New York film editing duo hired to salvage a botched comedy from a manic director (Kevin Corrigan, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS) gone AWOL. But what starts as a simple job quickly sends their relationships with their significant others and each other reeling. Amidst trouble with his fianc e (Sophia Takal, GOD'S POCKET), Nick finds himself falling for the film's flirtatious ing nue (Arielle Kebbel, HBO's Ballers ) Darryl, meanwhile, struggles to focus on his editing work in between fights with his tempestuous girlfriend (Melonie Diaz, FRUITVALE STATION). With real humor and heart, Supporting Characters offers a sharp, knowing take on life and love in the big city. SUPPORTING CHARACTERS is directed by Daniel Schechter.
RED FLAG
Writer/director Alex Karpovsky (HBO's Girls ) stars as Alex Karpovsky, a newly single indie filmmaker who hits the road with an old friend (Onur Tukel, SUMMER OF BLOOD) to promote one of his films. As the pair travel from one half-empty theater to the next, pursued by an adoring fan (Jennifer Prediger, A TEACHER) who drives them into an exceptionally uncomfortable love triangle, Alex-as-Alex is forced to suffer an endless series of humiliations, each one more absurd than the last.
NEWLYWEDS
Prolific New York filmmaker Edward Burns returns to the helm for his 10th feature, NEWLYWEDS. When you get married, you're not just getting a husband or wife you're getting the family, the friends, and even the exes. Buzzy and Katie are newlyweds. Katie's meddlesome sister Marsha has been married to Buzzy's friend Max for 18 years. As Marsha and Max's marriage is crumbling under the weight of life together as empty-nesters, Buzzy and Katie's hone
