SHUT_EYE is a hard hitting contemporary character study of family dysfunctionalism, crime and violence played out in the all night dive bars, three flat brownstones and Mob owned strip joints of Chicago's underworld. With the final weeks of the 2004 Presidential Election as a backdrop, SHUT --EYE
is both an exhilerating, and often funny modern film noir and a timely social commentary. Like far too many hard working American couples, Ed (Covert) and Kim (Kern) are barely making their rent each month. Ed, a Police Detective estranged from the force, is reduced to working security for Mafia s
trip clubs while Kim manages a neighborhood video store. The unending financial strain combined with the recent death of their child has brought them both to the breaking point. Among their family and friends working at one of the clubs are two couples who rip-off some cash filled strong boxes, mone
y the Mob pays Ed to protect. What was already deeply dysfunctional in this extended family of husbands and wives, fathers and daughters, brothers and sisters, lovers, corrupt cops and mobsters now blows back with an unpredictable, deadly vengeance. "Covert has assembled a strong cast." Movies/The
Reader, led by Jennifer Ker n (STRICKEN) " a cross between Laura Linney and Nicole Kidman." Cinema/Windy City Times, in a deeply effecting performance as Kim. Stana Katic (PIT FIGHTER) is heart breaking as Kims's beautiful, sexy and spectacularly self-destructive sister Angela. Allie Smith (CUP OF M
Y BLOOD) is stunning as Sue, a seductive, gun toting double-dealing Lolita. Jon Proudstar ( BODIES, REST AND MOTION, SKINWALKERS) brings an other-worldly intensity to his portrayal of Sammy, Ed's ex-partner now a mob bodyguard. And Covert " in a Robert Deniro role... gives a fine performance in thi
s indie crime thriller." Movies/The Reader. With a shimmering jazz fusion score from Bradley Parker Sparrow and Joanie Pallato, Covert expertly puts us directly into the mix of characters, the horribly botched robbery and the terrifying aftermath with all it's confusion, uncertainty and danger. As
all social laws and order disappear SHUT-EYE asks us to find our own way out.
