Our Newest Acquisition "Defying Gravity"

Indie-Pictures announces their newest acquisition "Defying Gravity" by Lisa Savy James

Los Angeles, CA – July 17, 2008 Indie-Pictures is proud to announce their newest acquisition: "Defying Gravity." Freshman Director/Menifee math teacher Lisa Savy James has delivered an award winning dramatic feature that has been mesmerizing the international and domestic film festival circuits for months. Winner of the Directors Choice Award at the Fallbrook Film Festival and Best Story Writing at the Digital Video and High Def Festival and now an Official selection of AOF International Film Festival and now it’s available to you!

“Defying Gravity” is a quirky dramedy about a transvestite, an illegal alien, a homeless man and a gothic girl driving around Southern California in a stolen hearse. A mute 16-year-old girl runs away to the cemetery in which her mother is buried. A homeless young man with secrets of his own attempts to befriend her. The cemetery caretaker, an inscrutable illegal Mexican, becomes the ally who eventually brings them together. When the girl turns up missing, the two men go in search of her in a stolen hearse ... and enlist the aid of a feisty but compassionate transvestite waitress named Lola.

"Defying Gravity" is warm-hearted comedy about four people, two traumatized and two in tough life situations, who wind up coming together and accepting one another's weirdness’s. The movie is reminiscent of '70s fare like "Harold and Maude," buoyed up by terrific performances -- William E. Belli as the tart-tongued, smitten Lola is a standout -- and a memorable score by Eric Kufs and Tom Schultz. You haven't seen anything that feels quite like this in a long time, and you haven't seen anything with this plotline ever. -- Rachel Reitsleff, ifmagazine.com and mania.com
