Director: Paul Sapiano
Dmitri is a pizza guy who would rather smoke weed and suffer for his art, but his mom and his girl won’t stop nagging him to get a real job. When he’s offered a gig mouthing off to tourists behind the wheel of a Hollywood “star tour” bus, it looks like everyone might get what they want. Trouble is, our man can’t seem to step out the door to get to the interview without endless complications: busted radiators, simple weed scores gone sideways and LAPD cruisers seemingly everywhere. Dmitri’s skill at going unnoticed by cops is honed by painful experiences growing up Black in L.A., but even his keen survival instincts won’t save him from the week from hell. With a jovial swagger to its walking pace, Driving While Black is half comedy of errors and half hard-bitten realism, tucked into a sly treatise on 21st-century over-policing.

Director: Daryl Gilmore
Critically acclaimed 8mm frontwoman Juliette Beavan (Gotham, Pretty Little Liars, Underworld: Awakening) brings her haunting knack for suspense and vulnerability to this powerful psychological thriller. Daryl Gilmore (Lost, Battleship)weaves a provocative pace with tangible atmosphere and visceral performances from Beavan and co-star/writer Daniel Kennedy in this heart-thumping directorial debut. Composer and Sound Designer Sean Beavan (NINE INCH NAILS, MARILYN MANSON, GUNS N' ROSES, SHINING) cunningly quickens goosebumps with his music and well-placed choice of chilling sounds. We are frozen as we watch, like flies on a wall, as secrets and lies unfold to reveal a blood-drenched heart.
