Mad Bastards
Mad Bastards cast real people with no acting experience to play the lead roles. This brings a tremendous intimacy and freshness to the movie. Developed in close collaboration over many years with director Brendan Fletcher, the actors play characters based on their own lives. The stories are etched on their faces. Powerful. Moving. Bold.
Mad Bastards was officially selected to screen Sundance Film Festival 2011.
