Loren Cass, a punk rock-influenced film first reported on in 2003 has picked up distribution and is being screened in New York City this week with further screenings in Los Angeles, Chicago and Tampa planned in the coming weeks. The movie is described as “a gritty tale of growing up and fading out. The film follows Cale, Nicole, and Jason through a few weeks of alcohol abuse and loneliness as they struggle to find what’s missing.” The movie features a live show by Leftover Crack and contributions from Keith Morris and Blag Dahlia
The New York Times had this to say about the film:
Overtly, ingeniously experimental in form, “Loren Cass” cuts among these three and an assortment of local wasted youth in an elliptical, intuitive manner, alternating listless scenes of opaque introspection and booze-fueled bumming around with sharp bursts of violence. The movie is a tour de force of mood and milieu, marshalling a hundred vivid details of landscape: parking lots, packing crates, shopping carts, peeling wallpaper, broken bottles, cheap salads, over-lighted diners, oily garages.
For information on New York showings, visit Cinema Village. Further showings around the country will be announced via the official website.
