Get a copy for you, one for each of your friends and spread the word!!! love, Tao "This is a life more vivid than any I've ever seen in this town. It's a movie more vivid than almost any made in this town. Dirty, sweet and magical, the movie swirls kaleidoscopically through urban terrain. It has the hallmarks of a music video ? fast motion, jump cuts, dizzying angles ? but isn't just vainly edgy. It's meant to be a guerrilla film-on-the-fly, latticed like the broken windshield of perception. The movie has a sort of mantra ? at least twice, characters offer the greeting "Each day's better than the next." Here is a two-faced piece of wisdom indeed. Does it mean life is getting ever-better, like it sounds, or ever-worse, like it says? Is "Fix" a movie about hope or catastrophe, the best of times or the worst of times? That's for you to decide after seeing the movie. Catch it at the Brooklyn Film Festival, see it at another festival near you, beg your local arthouse to play it, do what you have to do, but see it. Because you just gotta." -Joshua Tanzer offoffoff.com "Brash, cool and energetic ... a wild ride." - Variety "A bold new style and talent" -Oliver Stone "Ruspoli has succeeded in creating a film that not only compliments Los Angeles' multi-faceted landscape, but meditates on it. While FIX is everything one would hope - a frenetic, Odyssey-like journey through an underbelly of drug culture and addiction, it's when the film reaches moments of silence that its true voice speaks clear, deeply exploring notions of family, loss, and ultimately redemption." - Daniel Casey, Slamdance Programmer "Fix has the gritty energy of 'Go', the speedy with of 'Arrested Development' and a magnificent visual panache." - IndieWire "Funny, sad, dangerous, endearing; all the hallmarks of a big-money blockbuster are here, delivered with an effortless reality and spontaneity that no budget can buy ..." - M. Bradley, edhat.com Synopsis: Racing across Los Angeles in one, unwieldy day, documentary filmmakers Bella and Milo race from Beverly Hills to Watts and places in between to get Milo's brother Leo from jail to rehab before 8pm, or Leo goes to prison for three years. A story inspired by true events, the trio documents their trip from a suburban police station in Calabasas through mansions in Beverly Hills, East LA chop-shops, rural wastelands, and housing projects in Watts as they attempt to raise the $5,000 required to get Leo into the rehab clinic. Along the way encountering dozens of colorful characters, each with their own anomalous perspective on Leo's larger than life personality and style, and each with their own excuse for why they cannot help out. In the end, it may take a drug deal to get the necessary funds for rehab. -- __________ Tao Ruspoli Director, Mangusta & LAFCO productions www.taoruspoli.com + Please add FIX to your Netflix queue! + http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Fix/70113535 Pre-order your FIX DVD at amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Fix-Olivia-Wilde/dp/B0030GBT2E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1266859384&sr=8-1 "It seems to me that I have found what I wanted.
