SAMSON Imagine a trip down Route 66, where drive-ins, eccentric diners, fifties gas stations and neon stripped Tiki motels still stand. This is the backdrop of Interstate; a hallucinatory journey across America into the bleak world of film noir. On his way to Los Angeles to meet his girlfriend, Edgar (Shiloh Fernandez – “Drake & Josh”,“Jericho”) picks up two suspicious looking teenage sisters; Veronica, a femme fatale nightmare, and Gloria, a quirky acid head obsessed with snapping Polaroid’s. The journey takes a strange turn when Edgar becomes stranded with the girls in a seedy roadside motel. Strange revelations are made and Veronica uncovers Edgar’s grim past and blackmails him for everything he’s got. Film Director Marc A. Samson displays his talent in directing as well as matte design, made famous in I Am Legend and Apocalypto, here he recreates iconic symbols of Route 66, Diners, Motels, Gas Stations and more, all prominently featured in the making-of extras accompanying Interstate. Marc A. Samson is a filmmaker to watch. In the tradition of Alpha Dog, U-Turn and Taking Lives. HOUSTON INTERNATIONAL Film Festival WINNER! SILVER AWARD REELHEART TORONTO Film Festival WINNER!
