Two down and out aspiring filmmakers struggle with life, career, and the opposite sex as they attempt to make it out of the small New England town they are trapped in and into the big time.
Brazil’s Marco Dutra, who won the Special Jury Prize in Locarno for 2017’s excellent Good Manners (co-directed by Juliana Rojas), teams with Caetano Gotardo (who penned the screenplay for Dutra’s 2016 film The Silence of the Sky) for his latest project, All the Dead Ones, a period piece set at the end of the 19th century, where a white privileged family of coffee farm owners try to forget their history as slave owners during the country’s rapid industrialization. Sara Silveira (of Marcelo Gomes’ Cinema, Aspirins and Vultures, 2005) serves as producer.
