South of Hope Street, director Jane Spencer’s new sci-fi allegorical film, starring Tanna Frederick, Judd Nelson, Billy Baldwin, Angelo Boffa, and including Patricia Sluka, Egyptian star Asser Yassin, Michael Madsen, Craig Conway, Meredith Ostrom, Pascal Ulli, and Jack McEvoy, will screen for its Spirit Award Qualifying Run from July 19th–25th at the Laemmle Glendale, 207 N. Maryland Ave, at 4 PM daily.
Written and directed by Spencer and produced by Ward 9 Productions and Carm One Productions, South of Hope Street is a dystopian sci-fi impact film that tells of a mysterious event in the sky. Only a young woman and her alienated friends try to call attention to it – but they are voiceless misfits. As the sky gets stranger above, it becomes more fascist below, until, suddenly, the powers that be build a “wall” to cover the mystery of the sky.
The film has retro music alluding to a ‘time of rebellion’ by Donovan and Laura Nyro, an original score by Marc Holthuizen and award-winning composer Marcel Vaid, and is edited by Patricia Rommel (‘The Lives of Others’). Executive producers include Matthew Helderman, Luke Taylor, Remo Muggli, Steven Adams of AltaGlobalMedia, and MAD Solutions.
