You know that is what it would. Have been was in kenya screening her film when she got the oscar news the awards will be given out on march fourth. Cutting a better isnt the only female director to beat the odds to make her debut film t. V. Told used her own money and broke all the rules especially in her choice of the genre her psycho thriller is the kind of movie you dont see much in german sort of. Freddies lost everything he only sees his son on weekends his wife left him after he supposedly beat her unconscious. Oh man you got us up a couple of seasons from the footy as it is for last minute but. Hey because shes committed against. The virus and its ok. She did something. So thats. But in this film we cant be sure what is true but tale of sexual abuse psychosis and revenge freddy eddie is a chilling and powerful thriller one made on a shoestring budget. And in fashion one one of i shot the film without any subsidies and almost no money for seventy five thousand euros that sounds like a lot but for a film its very little everyone deferred their salaries and work for nothing. The director plowed her savings into the film and made up the rest through online crowdfunding acting friends including star jessica shots work for free it paid off freddy eddie was a hit on the festival circuit after failing to find someone willing to release her movie to mung is doing it herself. Freddy insists hes innocent but his story of a criminal twin brother eddie doesnt convince even his shrink he tells him to drop the act it was all those were easy. To skew the two things are not so much because i took him. Out this. Magazine pretty. Freddy eddie a powerful gripping debut.

So he goes back to the life one last job a sure thing drop the local drug dealers a fifty thousand euros worth of heroin sell it take the cash and start a new life. Among. See that amongst all that offers you the record for the possibility you can never go for the dotted. Line for most of the things that you think its theirs. But this is not the frankfurt most people see but the film feels and sounds authentic instead of professional actors the director cast rappers from frankfurts hip hop scene in many of the key roles. If he thought. It had to smell of the streets to taste like the streets and everything that goes with it underdogs i grew up in a neighborhood with the kind of guys in this film i know them well i know how they take candy guns schooled rising to take a stand up. The streets no no mercy neither does this film the deal goes bad rickys brother who also wants to escape the criminal life loses the stolen drugs deanna a cop uncovers their plan and decides to get dirty herself she needs money to help her daughter who is terminally ill and. Can pilot in the can because its her. He wouldnt release that to many pulliam so does continue to fire good and so forth and of.
