A new trailer for “Hotel Noir”

Downtown Los Angeles, sometime in the 1950′s.

Nighttime.

A detective checks into a hotel across from the train station and waits.
He knows it’s simply a matter of time before the gangsters he has stolen from come find him.

He has played his hand and come up short.

He’s broken his own rules.

He’s as good as dead.

On his last night on earth, long past the point of caring, he meets as series of characters: a singer trying to become a better person, a salesman with a secret, a gambler with an attitude, a chambermaid full of dreams.
The past keeps crashing into the present and the future - if such a thing ever existed - is but a vague rumor.

This is the world of HOTEL NOIR.

Just a reminder that the Hotel Noir Kickstarter ends in 36 hours.

Not that they desperately need your money: the movie is already made and the project is 150% funded. It’s just a neat opportunity to get some cool items if you’re interested in supporting a modern B&W film noir (and let’s face it: if you’re following me, chances are you are), want to support indie filmmakers, and have some spare money.

At the very least you can read the press kit. It’s free, and it contains some nice insight into the genre, its archetypes, and why it’s still relevant today.
