GUN HILL ROAD

ABOUT THE FILM:

After three years in prison, macho Enrique (Esai Morales) returns home to the Bronx and finds things changed. His wife, Angela (Judy Reyes), is distant, and his teenage son, Michael, has come out as Vanessa, a transgender woman. Unable to accept his child for who she is now, Enrique clings to his masculine ideals while Angela attempts to hold the family together by fiercely protecting Vanessa. Still under the watchful eye of his parole officer, Enrique must become the father he needs to be or, once again, risk losing his family and freedom.

TRIGGER

ABOUT THE FILM:

What Happens When the Music is Over?

For years, girlfriends Kat (Molly Parker) and Vic (Tracy Wright) rocked stages as Trigger, a raucous & popular girl band with enamored fans. Reuniting for a tribute to their band twelve years after their acrimonious breakup, they find themselves in very different places. This rock n’ roll romp from director Bruce McDonald and writer Daniel MacIvor features a wonderfully nuanced and engaging turn from Parker, while the late Tracy Wright (Me and You and Everyone We Know, Blindness, Leslie, My Name is Evil) commands the screen, delivering one of her finest performances with her characteristic tenacity and conviction.

CAST: Tracy Wright, Molly Parker

TERRITORIES: U.S. Only

FESTIVALS: 2010 Toronto International Film Festival
