LiTTLEROCK a film by mike ott
Watch the Trailer!
WINNER "BEST-FILM-NOT-PLAYING-AT-A-THEATRE-NEAR-YOU" -Gotham Independent Film Awards
"Littlerock, which seems like nowhere you'd want to be from, or end up in, and yet people are from there and people end up there." - Anisse Gross/THE RUMPUS
A couple of Japanese students on a pilgrimage become stranded in Small-Town USA. Only, Atsuko doesn't feel stranded. Littlerock absorbs her into its bleak landscape and beautiful, dead-end kids. When her brother takes off, frustrated, she's left to figure out that America can be a bit of a shit-hole.
BEESWAX a film by Andrew Bujalski
A tale of two sisters, one in a wheelchair, one not, both mid-30s, both in and out of beds
and jobs in Austin, Texas... it's weirdly gripping, an authentically banal slice of life." -THE GUARDIAN
"ONE OF THE TOP FILMS OF THE YEAR" - NEW YORK TIMES
“Perhaps the most refreshing element of Beeswax is that Jeannie's paraplegic condition is never a focus in the script; she ably moves around in her wheelchair, disassembles and reassembles the chair to drive, and gets leg massages at the end of a tiring day…Disabled advocacy groups around the world will welcome Beeswax as a ground-breaker. – Mike Goodrich
