Trailer
Why watch this film?
After films like 'Project Florida' and 'Tangerina', filmmaker Sean Baker has become one of the most interesting names in Hollywood independent cinema - and 'Red Rocket' solidifies this perception. Just like in his other films, which talk about excluded and rejected figures from society, the feature film here explores the figure of Mikey (Simon Rex), an actor of adult films in decline who decides to go back to his hometown. But of course, nobody wants him there, forcing him to go through a search to prove himself and show that he is worthy of being there, in that space. Special mention for the performance of Rex ('Scary Movie 3'), in the great (perhaps only so far) film of his career.

The Florida Project
The world is amazing or terrible to a child's eyes and it is this point of view that we follow in 'Project Florida'. In fact, the colors of the movie seem to refer to the child's imagination. The story takes place in Florida, as the title delivers, and shows a hard American reality that we are not familiar with.
Tangerine
The first ever feature-length film shot entirely on iPhones, the director used three, and edited on an app. Despite the limitations, the production has great quality and is an innovation both visually and in terms of content. 'Tangerine' shows a reality rarely explored in cinema and does it in a delicate way.
Comedy
