We offer our support by telling you a little bit about the film We Gotta Get Out of This Place, screening on November 10 and 13. Free tickets tend to sell out, but it's LA! Who's to say you won't get seats by utilizing the rush lines? WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE (USA) 92 min Sunday, November 10, 9:30 p.m., Chinese 1 Wednesday, November 13, 3:00 p.m., Chinese 5 DIRECTORS Zeke Hawkins, Simon Hawkins CAST Mackenzie Davis, Logan Huffman, Jeremy Allen White, William Devane, Jon Gries, Mark Pellegrino “Coming out swinging with a style-infused debut, brothers and co-directors Zeke and Simon Hawkins serve up a breathless Texas neo-noir with deliciously dark shades of hardboiled novelist Jim Thompson. As their summer comes to an end, BJ (Logan Huffman) convinces his best friend Bobby (Jeremy Allen White) and girlfriend Sue (Mackenzie Davis) to indulge in one last night on the town. The three burn through BJ's cash in no time, but it turns out to have been stolen from Giff (Mark Pellegrino), BJ's boss, and he wants it back. To set the record straight, he forces the young characters to plan a heist against a nefarious gangster. But nothing goes straight in this crooked tale of deception and violence, stealthily shot in grainy widescreen, and heightened by an atmospheric, guitar-plucked score.” There’s no better chance for Los Angelenos to see inspiring independent film, so get out there and feel Hollywood!
