  • A MOVIE by Boaz Yakin
    aviva A MOVIE BY boaz yakin SY NOPSIS Aviva is a young Parisian who develops an online romance with Eden, a New Yorker. After a long courtship they meet in person and fall in love, settling into an intimate relationship that leads to marriage. But their lives are not without struggle - for inside both young lovers exist warring factions of masculine and feminine energies battling for primacy inside and out of the bodies it contain them. Incorporating exultant dance sequences, and featuring a pair of principal characters played by four different actors externally expressing their masculine and feminine sides, Aviva captures a restless, frenzied and very fluid moment in time - right now - where the male-female dynamic is demystified and laid bare like never before. INT ENTION With Aviva, I wanted to make a film that told the story of the inner life experienced in a romantic relationship, using all the expressive means I have been exposed to as a creative person: Film, theater, dance, music. I think that often our medium, which is so suited to expressiveness and experimentation is forced into a ?realistic? straightjacket, and I wanted to break free of this and explore all the ways such a story can be told. I was influenced by such diverse filmmakers and Luis Bunuel and Bob Fosse, and set out to create something that unfolds in dance and physical movement as well as traditional dramatic scenes. And even these scenes I wanted to imbue with the concept of different actors playing different aspects of the characters they were portraying; using visual differences to highlight the inner emotional and spiritual splits that are experienced by all of us.

GIMME SKELTER stars horror legend Gunnar Hansen ("Leatherface" in the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE), cult movie icon Trent Haaga (Troma's TERROR FIRMER, CITIZEN TOXIE, and screenwriter of the upcoming POOR THINGS starring Shirley MacLaine), Mark Chavez (one half of the Second City-affiliated comedy duo "The Pajama Men"), Jillian Parry (Miss Teen USA 2000), Billy Garberina (FEEDING THE MASSES), Elske McCain (Troma's POULTRYGEIST), Ashley Bryce (BEER FEST), Kenneth J. Hall (FEAR OF A BLACK HAT, THE HALFWAY HOUSE), Hugo Award-nominated author Bob Vardeman, and Kurly Tlapoyawa (THE STINK OF FLESH). The movie was recently screened at the Fright Night Film Fest in Louisville, KY, where it won the award for Best Soundtrack. SKELTER was written and directed by Scott Phillips, writer of the cult classic action film DRIVE (starring Mark Dacascos, Kadeem Hardison, and Brittany Murphy) and co-writer of BROKE SKY (recent winner of the Grand Jury Prize in L.A.'s Dances With Films Festival). Phillips also wrote the novel FRIDAY THE 13TH: CHURCH OF THE DIVINE PSYCHOPATH (continuing the classic horror series featuring iconic killer Jason Voorhees) and is currently a staff writer on Adness Entertainment's KAMEN RIDER DRAGON KNIGHT, a TV series now shooting in Los Angeles.
