Tune in Tuesday, May 11th at 7PM (PST) as KXLU Los Angeles proudly presents Center Stage with Mark Gordon featuring special guests:
Harmony Korine will be talking about his new film TRASH HUMPERS
Marc Forby will be talking about his new film PRINCESS KAIULANI
Ronnie Marmo will be talking about his new production LENNY BRUCE IS BACK
TRASH HUMPERS follows a small group of elderly "Peeping Toms" through the shadows and margins of an unfamiliar world. Crudely documented by the participants themselves, we follow the debased and shocking actions of a group of true sociopaths the likes of which have never been seen before. Inhabiting a world of broken dreams and beyond the limits of morality, they crash against a torn and frayed America. Bordering on an ode to vandalism, it is a new type of horror, palpable and raw.
Set against the dramatic island backdrop of Hawaii and based on the inspiring true story, Princess Kaiulani is a breathtaking romance about an unlikely heroine and her unwavering fight to defend the independence of her people.
In 1888, Hawaii was a paradise teetering on the brink of civil unrest. The tide had turned against the long-incumbent royal family, under the malevolent influence of a rebel party with links to the American government. Within months, the Palace was overthrown, and the royals exiled.
Princess Kaiulani also known as Barbarian Princess is a drama film, set to be released in USA on May 14, 2010 (limited). The film is written by Marc Forby / Robert Payne and directed by Marc Forby, and stars: Q'orianka Kilcher as Princess Ka'iulani, Barry Pepper as Thurston, Will Patton as Sanford B. Dole, Shaun Evans as Clive Davies, Jimmy Yuill as Archie, Julian Glover as Mr. Davies, Tamzin Merchant as Alice Davies, Catherine Steadman as Miss Barnes and Kainoa Kilcher as Kaleo.
Actor Ronnie Marmo (ABC's General Hospital) is the comic legend Lenny Bruce in Lenny Bruce is Back (And Boy Is He Pissed), where the political and social critic returns from the grave for one final performance. Bruce's passionate comedy and crusades for free speech led to obscenity charges and arrests, paving the way for the honest and uncensored acts of Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Robin Williams.
