Synopsis:
Imagine a trip down Route 66, where drive-ins, eccentric diners, fifties gas stations and neone stripped Tiki motels still stand. This is the backdrop of Interstate; a hallucinatory journey across America into the bleak world of film noir. On his way to Los Angeles to meet his girlfriend, Edgar (Shilo Fernandez-"Drake & Josh," "Jericho") picks up two suspicious looking teenage sisters; Veronica, a femme fatale nightmare, and Gloria, a quirky acid head obsessed with snapping Polaroid's. The journey takes a strange run when Edgar becomes stranded with the girls in a seedy roadside motle. Strange revelations are made and Veronica uncovers Edgar's grim past and blackmails him for everything he's got. Film Director Marc Samson displays his talent in directing as well as matte design, made famous in I Am Legend and Apocalypto, here he reacreates iconic symbols of Route 66, Diners, Motels, Gas Stations, and more, all promenetly featured in the making-of extras accompanying Interstate. Marc A Samson is a filmaker to watch. In the tradition of Alpha Dog, U-Turn and Taking Lives.
