FEATURE FILM

The mysterious death of a young boy triggers the unearthing of a town’s long buried secrets.

One part Gothic thriller, one part black comedy and one part Dickensian mystery, Dig Two Graves dramatizes the cycle of violence that perpetuates itself over generations in a small backwoods town.

The story centers on Jacqueline, a 14-year-old girl nicknamed “Jake” by her older brother Sean. After Sean mysteriously disappears at a rock quarry, Jake is visited by three Moonshiners who offer to bring her dead brother back to life in exchange for taking another life. As Jake wrestles with this morally uncertain proposition, the dark history of her family is unearthed and the mystery surrounding the Moonshiners is illuminated.

The Moonshiners are portrayed in the tradition of the Shakespearean witches from Macbeth. While the tone of the film blends realism with mysticism, the motives and powers of the Moonshiners, like the Shakespearean witches, are largely ambiguous. Are they in possession of supernatural powers or are they tricksters preying upon human fallibility to unleash destruction into the world? The answers to these questions are revealed only in the final moment of the story.

“This is the comedy surprise of the year.”

–Scott Marks, San Diego Reader

Gone Doggy Gone is a comedic feature about an LA couple who treats their dog like a baby until it gets kidnapped. What ensues is an outlandish cat-and-mouse adventure as they hunt down the kidnapper, enlist a schlubby PI, and may somehow, slightly conquer their fear of parenthood.

“The film’s sweetness, its story line and the script’s cartoony characters recall Raising Arizona.” –Chris Packham, LA WEEKLY

“Gone Doggy Gone reminded me of this new round of Melissa McCarthy/Paul Feig comedies, letting a female lead really come into her own, and getting to do all the ‘fun’ stuff normally reserved for the boys in films like The Hangover. –Charles Tatum, EFILMCRITIC
