SPEC FEATURES

DARK COMEDY THRILLER, Top 50 Academy Nicholl Fellowship.

When her b-movie idol dies as a drug mule, an eccentric mortician steals his corpse and flees the gangsters chasing his body to her hometown of Las Vegas.

THELMA & LOUISE meets TRUE ROMANCE

LARA AND THE DEAD BOY

BLCKLIST REVIEW: “The zany, offbeat antics and improbable underpinnings of films like BUBBA HO-TEP collide with the spirited fun of RAISING ARIZONA or WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S, an oddball adventure riveting from its first page to its last. The potential for powerhouse performances in its leads offers the promise of a sizable crossover audience. It would likely be appealing to development executives at A24 and Annapurna Pictures.”

HISTORICAL REVISIONIST THRILLER, Finalist Austin Film Festival.

After a near death experience imbues Rasputin with mystic powers, he becomes the centerpiece of a Russian/Ukrainian gang war in modern day Coney Island.

Boondock Saints meets Romeo + Juliet

the death of rasputin

BLCKLST READER REVIEW: “A fascinating, funny, and intense adventure with remarkable characters and deep themes. Rasputin is a charismatic, lusty, spiritual presence who dominates all his scenes. There are some absolutely outstanding lines of dialogue… Angelo provides humor and humanity, his memorializing of Rasputin is downright incredible and his words carry us through key moments of the action-packed, violent, impactful third act.”
