New DVD -Defying Gravity (2009) - starring Willam Belli

Description: Buy directly from the writer/producer! Defying Gravity stars the irrepressible, irreverent drag superstar Willam Belli in his award-winning role. This indie gem was an official selection at 12 film festivals and winner of 6 awards including Best Narrative Feature, Director's Choice, and Best Story/Writing. Synopsis Cassandra, a mute runaway girl, takes refuge in the cemetery in which her mother is laid to rest. She is watched over by Jorge, the cemetery caretaker, an illegal alien who is committed to the restoration of a classic '60 cadillac hearse. Shore is a dynamic, handsome, and brilliant young man who also happens to be homeless. After almost hitting Cassandra in his dilapidated VW bus, he becomes fascinated by the gothic cemetery waif and attempts to befriend her. A sequence of events results in Cass getting lost. Jorge and Shore flee the cemetery in a stolen hearse to find Cassandra before her abusive step-father does. All paths lead to Yermo - the site of a roadside diner and a feisty but compassionate transvestite waitress named Lola.

Reviewer Dan Bennett calls Defying Gravity "... a funny, poignant and always interesting little film, built on well-designed characters and a fine story." "Defying Gravity" is warm-hearted comedy about four people, two traumatized and two in tough life situations, who wind up coming together and accepting one another's weirdnesses. The movie is reminiscent of '70s fare like "Harold and Maude," buoyed up by terrific performances -- Willam E. Belli as the tart-tongued, smitten Lola is a standout -- and a memorable score by Eric Kufs and Tom Schultz. You haven't seen anything that feels quite like this in a long time, and you haven't seen anything with this plotline ever. -- Rachel Reitsleff, reviewer for ifmagazine.com and mania.com
