Breaking Glass Pictures came to Sundance ready to make deals, and make deals they did. Breaking Glass CEO Rich Wolff snatched up Amelia’s 25th for US release as well as Silver Case. Amelia‘s described as a dark comedy starring Robert Rodriguez, Jennifer Tilly, Danny Trejo (a favorite collaborator of Rodriguez’s), and Electra Avellan (Rodriguez’s niece-in-law). Silver Case was directed by Christian Filippella and stars Eric Roberts and Vincent DePaul.
Per the official announcement, here are the plots of both films:
Amelia’s 25th:
With a disconnected father, her live-in boyfriend struggling financially, and surviving in a complex of noisy neighbors who call themselves artists, her life could not seem bleaker. Spanning the course of one day, Amelia finds guidance and wisdom in the most curious places: a movie star, a photographer, casting directors, unemployed actors, plus-size sex shop owners, psychics, and a cross-dressing neighbor, all who lead her down the winding road of acceptance.
The cast also includes Margaret Cho, singer Ashley Parker Angel, Jon Abrahams, Karin Kelts, and Michael Biehn.
Silver Case:
The world of Hollywood scheming reaches a nasty low when a powerful producer (Roberts) hatches a plan to undermine the future success of his shady archrival. His plot begins with the delivery of a silver briefcase, which soon goes missing, setting off a chain of events. The Senator engages his best team to locate the package but doesn’t count on the tenacity of two thugs who have the mysterious prize in their possession.
