SF IndieFest trailer: "Kissing On the Mouth"
Chicago filmmaker Joe Swanberg's "Kissing on the Mouth" is a confrontational and startling film that pulls out all the stops in the way it explores issues of sex and infidelity within post-college relationships. Ellen is sleeping with her exboyfriend and trying to ignore the fact he's looking for more than just sex. Her roommate, Patrick, isn't helping matters with his secretive and jealous behavior. The small cast served as the only crew on this intimate, often humorous film featuring frank dialogue, explicit sex, and real interviews with recent college graduates.

"Trap" is a perfect film to feature as our IndieFest Valentine's weekend gala. It's about husbands and wives--killing each other! Award-winning short-filmmaker James Bonner's feature debut, is an artful horror that explores the place where salvation, love, and insanity come crashing together; where four people go in--and only one comes out.
Nicole is trapped. She's caught in an abusive marriage that brings new meaning to the phrase until death do us part. Her only friend, an online pal named Amy, admonishes Nicole to kill her husband before he does her in first. Nicole reluctantly agrees. She murders her husband and flees for Amy's distant home--and sanctuary.
But Amy is not what she seems: cruel and manipulative, she toys with anyone in reach. She's entrapped her own spouse, Chandler, and driven him half mad with her constant taunting and humiliations. Amy doesn't realize how desperate Chandler has become. The trap is set and a game of cat and mouse ensues in this harrowing, painfully funny story about body disposal and other problems with burying the past.
If you enjoy movies that are well written and acted, crisply edited, colorful, fast paced, visually dense, and consistently surprising, then Michigan-based, (and avowed fan of local hero Sam Raimi) James Bonner's "Trap" is an excellent entertainment choice. Find a date you really trust for Saturday night and get your tickets early.

SF IndieFest trailer: "Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher"
This documentary by David Di Sabatino is a part of the SF Indie Film Festival. What do you do when the Jesus freak who started your church dies from AIDS? Simple, erase him from history.
Lonnie Frisbee was a young hippie seeker fully immersed in the 1960s counterculture when he claimed to have experienced an encounter with God while on an acid trip. The event so transformed him that Lonnie became an itinerant Christian evangelist, something of a John the Baptist of Southern California who compelled thousands toward a profession of faith in Jesus Christ.
Fascinatingly, his call into Christian ministry came while deeply involved in the Laguna Beach homosexual scene. And because he died as a result of AIDS in 1993, he's been marginalized from history by the very men whom he helped establish with their evangelistic ministries.
Controversial throughout his life, the brief but dynamic career of evangelist Lonnie Frisbee is a powerful story of biblical proportions. "Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher" captures the dramatic journey of this spiritual seeker turned Jesus freak who thousands remember as the agent through whom they experienced spiritual transformation.
