SXSW Trailers – CHARLIE CASANOVA & SOUND OF MY VOICE

With one of the biggest festivals, SXSW is getting ready to take flight and we have two more trailers for films being showcased during their festivities! Enjoy!

CHARLIE CASANOVA

Erudite, harmless, ruling class egotist, Charlie Barnum (EMMET SCANLAN, in a haunting performance)’s smoke and mirror articulations conceal a prejudiced, over-educated sociopath who refuses to be bound by the restrictions of morality, law or even reality. When Charlie knocks down a working class girl in a hit-and-run, he uses a deck of playing cards to determine his fate. Dangerously subversive, provocatively dark, and satirically disturbing, you’ve already met Walter Mitty and Billy Liar, now it’s time for you to meet the darkest member of that twisted trio; the man of our times, Charlie Casanova.

CHARLIE CASANOVA is the first film to be entirely conceived on Facebook. After the Irish Film Board rejected the script, writer-director Terry McMahon had the words, “The Art is in the Completion. Begin.” tattooed onto his body then typed a message into his Facebook status that he was planning to shoot the film in a few weeks and soliciting a cast and crew.   Within twenty-four hours a hundred and thirty people made contact with Terry. Camera department, designers, production managers, assistant directors, continuity people, gaffers, actors… Three weeks later CHARLIE CASANOVA was in production with this renegade crew of strangers and actors.  The film was made for less than $1,000 Euros — the Irish press have dubbed it Ireland’s lowest-budgeted movie of all time!

CHARLIE CASANOA will be premiering at the 2011 SXSW on Sunday, March 13^th.

SOUND OF MY VOICE

Peter and Lorna, a young Silver Lake couple, delve into the underworld of a cult that meets in the San Fernando valley. At the center of the group is an enigmatic young woman named Maggie (Brit Marling) who never leaves her basement chamber. The members follow Maggie blindly-growing her food, obsessively sanitizing the house, giving her their own blood for transfusions. But why? We follow Peter and Lorna as they smuggle hidden cameras into Maggie’s basement bent on exposing her as a charlatan and freeing the members from her spell. But when they themselves fall prey to Maggie’s mind games all bets are off.

SOUND OF MY VOICE will be premiering at the 2011 SXSW on Friday, March 11^th.
