Two New 2011 SXSW Film Trailers
For all of you SXSW lovers, or those that love the scoop on new films… we have new trailers for SURROGATE VALENTINE and AMERICAN ANIMAL. Both films will be playing at this years SXSW festival.
SURROGATE VALENTINE
In Dave Boyle’s sweet romantic comedy, SURROGATE VALENTINE, San Francisco musician & rising star Goh Nakamura’s (playing himself) life of solitude is disrupted when he is hired to teach TV actor Danny Turner (Chadd Stoops) how to play guitar for an upcoming film. Hellbent on accurately portraying Goh’s mellow vibe for his role, Danny meticulously studies his every move. Together, the two embark on a hilarious West Coast adventure involving live gigs, groupies, shotgun-wielding record exes and an unexpected friendship. Along the way, Goh discovers that Danny may be the missing puzzle piece in his life-long chase for Rachel (Lynn Chen), the one that got away.
The film is premiering at the 2011 SXSW Film Festival on Saturday, March 12th.
AMERICAN ANIMAL
Jimmy is a terminally ill young man. He is also quite eccentric, bordering on plain old crazy, and starting today he has decided that he is ‘happy’ and no longer sick. Jimmy’s roommate James is a healthy, dreamy young man. They’re best friends. They live together. They don’t do much of anything and they seem very happy that way. Today, they have a couple of female friends over to their downtown Los Angeles loft for just another day of drinks, drugs, board games and casual sex, among other things. All seems well. But trouble arises when it gets revealed that James will be leaving for a new job in the morning. Jimmy, feeling betrayed, is not pleased by this development. He sees it as nothing short of the destruction of the perfect little world that they’ve set up, and a classic, humorous battle of wills ensues as James prepares for the real world and Jimmy falls deeper and deeper into his world of illness, isolation, madness and make-believe.
American Animal is the first feature from director/writer/star Matt D’Elia. The supporting cast includes Brendan Fletcher (TIDELAND, THE PACIFIC), Mircea Monroe (Showtime’s hit series EPISODES), Angela Sarafyan (both upcoming TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN series) and Billie (Matt’s on-screen and real-life dog)
The film is premiering at the 2011 SXSW Film Festival on Monday, March 14th.
