"In terms of low-budget filmmaking aspiring past its limitations, Loren Cass is the real deal." - Andrew Grant, TIME OUT NEW YORK
New York, NY - October 19, 2009 - Kino International is proud to release on DVD "one of the year's great discoveries" (Nathan Lee, The New York Times), Chris Fuller's Loren Cass (2007). Direct from its theatrical release, which gathered unanimously strong reviews from the country's top critics, Chris Fuller directorial debut is set to become available on DVD on December 8, with a SRP of $24.95.
There’s something to be said about not being eager to please. Chris Fuller’s Loren Cass is an aggressively confrontational debut, all the more so because it is so resolutely restrained in its approach. So seemingly oblique is Fuller’s approach that one feasibly could make it through the entire film and not realize that its subject matter is the aftermath of the 1996 St. Petersburg riots; but on the other hand, that subject matter is so deeply ingrained in the film’s form that it doesn’t matter.

“Loren Cass” was nominated for Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You by the IFP Gotham Awards last year. And now, thanks to Kino International, one of the few distributors willing to take a chance on such a small-scale, hugely imaginative vision, “Loren Cass” is the best film finally playing near ... well, some of you at least. Opening on Friday on a single screen in Manhattan, this sharp, gutsy indie is one of the year’s great discoveries.
