Deadbeat at Dawn
Jim VanBebber directs himself as gang leader Goose, who decides to turn his back on his violent drug fuelled lifestyle after one last score. When a rival gang kills his girl Goose heads out for revenge.
Shot guerilla style using money for his third year of film school, vanbebber turns in a down & dirty, bloody as hell micro-budgeted action odyssey with some fairly outrageous stunts all orchestrated by Vanbebber himself as well as some fairly well orchestrated fight scenes and some nasty violence. Its an entertainingly trashy experience that comes across as a mixture of Street trash and story of ricky as Goose pummels his way through the rival gang.
The disc also has some pretty interesting short films including my sweet satan which comes across as a true crime-esque tale of a small town satanist and drug fiend taking things to far, Roadkill: the last days of John Martin a sleazy, scuzzy gore fuelled tale of a cannibalistic serial killer. Doper a documentary piece on slackers who work dead end jobs and live for pot fuelled weekends, Kata a look at a Karate master going through his Kata and Into the black an ultra low budget post apocalypse rock odyssy with martial arts.
