Bowen, RUE MORGUE Just how bad can things get? Conrad has found a pornographic video featuring his fiancé. Shocked, he calls the wedding off. But now, after an emotionally brutal week, an abused Jennifer has cut off Conrad's penis - and taken it with her for ransom! A doctor has advised Conrad that if found immediately, there is some hope for re-attachment. But where is Jennifer hiding? Vengeful and furious, Conrad blunders gun first into the underworld of her “blue-film” past, to find her – and his missing member! Starring MICHAEL RODRICK ( Another World, Desolation Angels ), renowned cult actress DEBBIE ROCHON (‘Scream Queen of the Decade'), real life porn legend FRANK OLIVIER (as Daddy Mac), and directed by award winning filmmaker TIM MCCANN ( Revolution #9 , Desolation Angels ), NOWHERE MAN probes and cauterizes the preposterousness of love and revenge. It is both a nasty little film noir and a black humored treatise on the ever shifting balance of power in human relationships.

  • The Female Brain
    THE FEMALE BRAIN A film by Whitney Cummings Starring Whitney Cummings, Toby Kebbell, Beanie Feldstein, Cecily Strong, Sofia Vergara, Deon Cole, Blake Griffin, Lucy Punch and James Marsden 2017 Los Angeles Film Festival World Premiere Saturday, June 17th at 5:45PM | Arclight Culver City Theatre 2 – World Premiere Sunday, June 18th at 10:00 AM | Culver Theatre 8 – Press & Industry Screening Running Time: 98 minutes Press Contact: The DDA Group [email protected] [email protected] SYNOPSIS A romantic ensemble comedy about modern day relationships, The Female Brain provides insight into the complexities of the male vs female brain at varying stages of love: whether it’s finding the right romantic balance; parenting; expressing emotion; or simply admitting shortcomings when a bathroom remodel goes awry. In the end, detached researcher Dr. Brizendine has to admit that her study of the brain might have a bias that she did not initially consider. DIRECTOR WHITNEY CUMMINGS Q&A with Writer/Director Whitney Cummings Tell us about the concept and story behind The Female Brain. How did the idea/project come to you? I read the book and was enthralled by all the science of it. I was fascinated by all the things I learned about not only female brains, but the brain in general. We all have this incredibly powerful machine in our skulls making lots of decisions without us, and we know next to nothing about it! I was shocked that they don’t teach us about our brains in school. I became obsessed with how our primordial, reptilian brains sabotage our modern relationships.

    WWW.VESSELTHEFILM.COM FACEBOOK/VESSELTHEFILM A fearless sea captain sails a ship through loopholes in international law, providing abortions on the high seas, and leaving in her wake a network of emboldened activists who trust women to handle abortion on their own terms. A film by Diana Whitten 88:00 | HD Video | 16:9 | Stereo | Color | 2014 | USA International Sales: Philippa Kowarsky | Cinephil | +972 3 566 4129 | [email protected] North American Sales: Marc Allen | FilmBuff | 212.627.9898 | [email protected] Community Screenings and Filmmaker Appearances: Caitlin Boyle | Film Sprout | 347.682.2483 | [email protected] Publicity: Adam Segal | 2050 Group | 202.422.4673 | [email protected] SYNOPSIS Dr. Rebecca Gomperts sails a ship around the world, providing abortions at sea for women with no legal alternative. Her idea begins as flawed spectacle, faced with governmental, religious, and military blockade. But with each roadblock comes a more refined mission, until Rebecca realizes she can use new technologies to bypass law – and train women to give themselves abortions using WHO-researched protocols with pills. From there we witness her create an underground network of emboldened, informed activists who trust women to handle abortion themselves. Vessel is Rebecca’s story: one of a woman who hears and answers a calling, and transforms a wildly improbable idea into a global movement. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT Rebecca’s story first drew me in because of the metaphor I found to be inherent to her work: a woman seeking a space out- side of sovereignty in order to reclaim her own. The metaphor manifests on the ship, with practical, tangible consequences that empower others and change the course of lives.
