This indie film is weird, intense and unusual. It definitely fits into the dark noir category. Starts out as the simple story of an aspiring actress just trying to make ends meet and blossoms into an off-beat kind of crime story thriller. The characters are quirky and unusual. The protagonist, Priscilla, is played by Arielle Brachfeld. She plays an aspiring actress who will literally stop at nothing to get ahead. The casting director, Elsa, is a rude, brutally offensive character and is well played by JamieLee Ackerman. This movie definitely has the right ingredients to become a cult film.
We very much enjoyed the movie, excellent feel to it. Gritty, true to life and quite spellbinding. Photography excellent.
I was fortunate to get access from the UK to this film. It is quirky and romantic but also dark and eventually bloody!! Really refreshing new film that I have shared with friends with similar resulting pleasure. A little likeness to the excellent Breaking Bad with it's villians and twists. Go see it!!
I saw an early screening of LOS ANGELES OVERNIGHT. Gorgeous and gritty, this love/hate letter to Los Angeles taps into the zeitgeist to reveal the darkside of Tinseltown. Compelling, unexpected, with a stand-out style.
