HOHOKAM

recent Hollywood romantic comedies put together.

SCREENINGS

(2007) dir Frank V. Ross w/Anthony Baker, Allison Latta,
Denise Blank, Sasha Giappo [93 min]
When digital video technology made it into consumers' hands in the 90s, the
optimists predicted an explosion of brilliant idiosyncratic personal
narratives; if Frank Ross' Hohokam is a harbinger, perhaps they'll be proven
right after all. A unique, funny snapshot of a 30-ish Arizonan couple
(played by remarkable discoveries Latta and Baker), it has all the intimacy
and laser-like detail you might expect from a 'small' film but plenty of
inventiveness & curveballs, as well as a jaunty jazz score, exotic animals,
and a gun in the first act! An "under your skin" movie.
