LOWLANDS SCREENING, part of the Imaginese Film Night
Lowlands is an episodic exploration into the nebulous metropolis of Los Angeles.
Follow wandering Angelenos through the endless landscape as an immodest writer takes a long hike, a lost driver desperately searches for the hospital, a philosopher hunts for the best Chinese food, a couch-surfer goes on a midnight joyride, and several others drift and drop through the city's corridors.
In this fragmented walkabout everyone's searching for the ever-elusive center of their city what they actually find is never the same.
WATCH THE TRAILER
Written and conceived by Russell Sadeghpour and Parker Laramie, the series of shorts was shot guerrilla-style on a shoestring budget with DSLR cameras mounted to car windshields and doors. In the style of new-wave filmmaking, much of the dialogue (and camera work) is improvised.
One animation segment featuring an L.A. expat (the only episode set outside the city limits) was recorded with improvised dialogue and then animated using a unique rotoscope style.
Frontman Carey Mercer (Frog Eyes/Swan Lake) unifies all eight shorts with the brilliantly moody tunes of his latest solo venture, Blackout Beach. Songs appear from the album "11 Pink Helicopters in the Coral Sky."
No permits were filed, but neither were any tickets issued. Except for parking.
Starring EUGENE KOTLYARENKO, CALLY ROBERTSON, JAMEELAH NURIDDIN, CARL LISBERGER, AMOS NATKIN, RUSSELL SADEGHPOUR, TREVOR DAVIS, TONI TORRES, PARKER LARAMIE, and WHITNEY ELLIS. Music by BLACKOUT BEACH Written and Produced by RUSSELL SADEGHPOUR and PARKER LARAMIE Edited by PARKER LARAMIE Directed by RUSSELL SADEGHPOUR
