‘Cavite’ is coming
The intense little thriller “Cavite” — notable not only for winning honors but for landing a distribution deal thanks to the efforts of John Pierson’s UT film class — is coming to the Dobie and DVD. This is after it took a Special Jury Prize at the 2005 SXSW and got its creators Someone to Watch recognition at the Independent Spirit Awards.
It opens July 14 at the Dobie and comes to DVD on Aug. 8. Mark Cuban’s Truly Indie is putting it in theaters and his Magnolia brand is releasing the disc.
Made with spectacular resourcefulness by tyro filmmakers Neill Dela Llana and Ian Gamazon, who also stars as a tourist in the Philippines tormented by a sadistic terrorist, “Cavite” is a pressure-cooker of sweaty tension, taut, timely and dripping with dread. See more at the film’s site.
