#10. Booster – Matt Ruskin
A 2011 Narrative Filmmaker Lab Participant, Matt Ruskin’s thriller starring Seymour Cassel might be considered as a longshot as the only logical category fit for a Park City showing might be the NEXT section. Nonetheless, Booster is produced by an up-and-comer producer in Andrea Roa, and Ruskin’s does have Sundance connections in his past – his feature directorial debut, The Hip Hop Project, was aired on the Sundance Channel and he was a consulting producer on the Sundance preemed docu William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe.
Gist: When Simon’s brother is arrested for armed robbery, he is asked to commit a string of similar crimes in an attempt to get his brother acquitted. Caught between loyalty to his brother and his own will, Simon is forced to examine his life.
Producer: Andrea Roe (Sunlight Jr.)
