Event Date: May 19, 2011 - 7:30pm
Location: James Bridges Theater, Melnitz Hall, UCLA
Evan Glodell, Taylor Dawson and Jessie Wiseman in person for a Q&A following the screening!
Best friends Woodrow (Evan Glodell) and Aiden (Tyler Dawson) spend all of their free time building Mad Max-inspired flamethrowers and muscle cars in preparation for a global apocalypse. But when Woodrow meets a charismatic young woman (Jessie Wiseman) and falls hard in love, he and Aiden quickly integrate into a new group of friends, setting off on a journey of love and hate, betrayal, infidelity and extreme violence more devastating and fiery than any of their apocalyptic fantasies.
Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2010, South By Southwest Film Festival 2011
"BELLFLOWER presents its doom-laden vision as an astonishingly distinctive state of mind, arguing that the end of one self-made world always marks the start of a new one...a phenomenal showcase for newcomer Glodell." - Eric Kohn, INDIEWIRE
"A compelling stew of dark fantasies and youthful gonzo ambition, the hard-to-classify BELLFLOWER...presents a bracing vision that is, despite its nihilistic leanings, almost charming." - John DeFore, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
