THE LOT
Directed by Raffaele Vesco
Produced by Raul Perez, Santi Naidoo & Jesse Townes
United States | English | 17' | Drama
"Chasing the dream" is nice and idealistic. But let’s be real - it’s chaos. You have to survive while trying to thrive. Nico survives by selling cars. And on the same day he gets the biggest opportunity of his Hollywood career, a sale lands in his lap that could cover 7 months of bills with one handshake. Do the callback, or land the sale? Nico chooses the third option... with chaotic results.
*slaps roof* Now here’s one that everyone will love: THE LOT. This film has got it all: pulse-pounding drama, gut-busting comedy, and even the kind of existential and career crises that the whole family can enjoy. Lead by a tour-de-force performance by Jesse Townes (who is also one of the writers), THE LOT finds exciting ways to examine the choices we make in pursuit of our dreams with wicked slick cinematography (by Jackie Bao and Jowei Verhoeven) and a super clean score by Alex Winkler. A film this good, this fun, this moving doesn’t come around often; come on down and see it soon!
