93193 <p>After 35 festivals and 14 awards, this film and its director have received critical acclaim from the likes of Oliver Stone who says "A bold new style and talent." Austin! Let all your friends in NYC know that it debuts this week at the Village East Theater (181 2nd Ave. and 12th st.).</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Racing across Los Angeles in one, unwieldy day, documentary filmmakers Bella and Milo must race from Beverly Hills to Watts &mdash; and places in between &mdash; in order to get Milo&rsquo;s brother Leo from jail to rehab before 8pm, or Leo goes to prison for three years. A story inspired by true events, the trio documents their trip from a suburban police station in Calabasas through mansions in Beverly Hills, East LA chopshops, rural wastelands, and housing projects in Watts as they attempt to raise the $5,000 required to get Leo into the rehab clinic.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Along the way they encounter dozens of colorful characters, each with their own anomalous perspective on Leo&rsquo;s larger-than-life personality and style, and each with their own excuse for why they cannot help out. In the end, it may take the desperate irony of a drug deal to get the necessary funds to send Leo to rehab.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Tao Ruspoli - Director</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Starring Shawn Andrews, Olivia Wilde, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Dedee Pfeiffer, Rodney Eastman, Douglas Spain</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">Tao also directed critically acclaimed El Paso Born, Austin based band The Morakestra's Video for "Tell You Something" from the album <em>Witness to Connection </em>Produced by Jim Ward of Sparta and At-The-Drive-In.
