Eric Balfour, Laura Henry, Petro Papahadjopoulos, Jon Mann-Krieger and Brandon Nicholas each direct a segment in this twisted anthology that sounds like a Twilight Zone version of Four Rooms. They were given a brief synopsis, eight rules to follow and one day on set to create their film.
Synopsis:
Five directors tackle five short stories that are all tied together in one dark, twisted, humorous film about what goes on behind the door of room 316. From a lonely man who pushes a hooker too far, to a Twilight Zone-esque, sci-fi tale, to a sweet teenage romance, and then finally a noir thriller about a man, a woman, a maid and the mafia tied into a spooky horror with a hotel maid - Do Not Disturb has it all.
The cast includes Balfour, Diva Zappa, Jason Alan Smith, Troy Garity, Lindsay Pulsipher, Mali Elfman, Maureen Flannigan, Jonathan Majors and John Reese.

Desert Son is a stylishly filmed, angsty coming-of-ager that feels a lot like Larry Clark riffing on the wilderness survival genre. That is to say it is a haunting look into the dark side of aimless adolescence that pulls no punches when examining how messed-up kids can be when drunk on a potent cocktail of confusion, raging hormones and ego. And with an odd little family / love triangle at its core, Desert Son even manages to ruminate on how the dysfunction we're brought up with becomes the baggage we carry around with us forever. Like the battered old suitcase Philip carries with him throughout the film, our past is an extension of who we are and contains all the bits and pieces that make up what we will become.

Bloody Disgusting is announcing that Desert Son has a new poster which is thrilling. The trailer has dramatic tones as a young boy is left to die in an unknown desert. The heavy interplay of damaged characters also signals that Desert Son is a drama. There are thrilling elements that include home invasions, robbery, and survival. Visit the trailer for Desert Son and watch both the thrilling and dramatic tones of the film.
The tagline for Desert Son:
"Left for dead -- you fight for life."

When we brought you the first look at Desert Son back in January we didn't know whether we'd get to see the film due to its lack of distribution deal. Well now it looks as though Shoreline Entertainment have picked the film up so outlook is good that it'll turn up in some form eventually. We also go our hands on the fiml's first poster and an all new, re-cut trailer.
Seriously, the more I see from this film, the more I like it. It's an odd concept, but its striking to look at and I like the amateur talent and angsty tee love triangle.
