Big Shot Caller Director: Marlene Rhein Writer: Marlene Rhein Cast: David Rhein, Marlene Rhein, Laneya Wiles, Leslie Eva Glaser Distributor: International Film Circuit Country: US Theatrical Release Date: May 15, 2009 Synopsis: Meet Jamie Lessor. His life is a bit out of focus. Abandoned by his runaway sister, and raised by his grumpy poker-playing father, Jamie is beginning to wonder if true happiness is out of reach. That is, until he meets Elissa. Blinded by love, he can't see that it's a mismatch from the start. When she suddenly stops texting him back, Jamie is left broken-hearted and alone again. After ten years of separation, he reluctantly calls his older sister for advice. But Lianne Lessor has her own problems. She presses her personal philosophy on him, "It's not up to you- God is the big shot-caller. Maybe he's trying to tell you to love yourself first." She pushes him to come to terms with his fears and begin the search for himself through his last resort - his childhood dream of salsa dancing. YouTube Trailer: |
