2012 Sundance Predictions: Alonso Filomeno Mayo’s The Story of Luke
What’s a Sundance Film Festival without Lou Pucci Taylor? I can’t remember an edition without his presence. Production may have wrapped up a couple of months ago, but Alonso Filomeno Mayo’s feature debut The Story of Luke could be a lock for U.S Dramatic Comp or Premieres slot.
#62. The Story of Luke – Alonso Filomeno Mayo
What’s a Sundance Film Festival without Lou Pucci Taylor? I can’t remember an edition without his presence. Production may have wrapped up a couple of months ago, but Alonso Filomeno Mayo’s feature debut The Story of Luke could be a lock for U.S Dramatic Comp or Premieres slot.
Gist: Lou Pucci Taylor stars as Luke, 25, is autistic and has lived a sheltered life with his grandparents. But his world is turned upside down when his grandmother dies and he is forced to live with his dysfunctional relatives who have no patience for him or his senile grandfather, who they quickly force into a nursing home. Luke is left with his grandfather’s final semi-coherent words: “Get a job. Find a girl. Live your own life. Be a man!” For the first time in his life, Luke has a mission. He is about to embark on a quest.
Producers: Julien Favre (Arcadia), Nina Leidersdorff and Fred Roos (Expired)
