First Images and Teaser For J.L. Vara’s Technicolor Noir SOUTH OF HEAVEN!

Posted in Trailer Alerts , Cult, Action, USA & Canada.
A couple weeks back I was slipped a screener of director J.L. Vara’s debut feature, South of Heaven and have been awaiting the okay to share some news about this one ever since. Taking a bow June 14th at the Cinevegas Festival, the film is a sort of technicolored noir that fuses bright colors and hyper stylized design with 1950s styled villains and heroes punctuated by bursts of extreme violence. Here’s how Cinevegas describes it:
The Coop Brothers are in trouble. Roy Coop has just finished serving Uncle Sam and he’s come home to find his brother, Dale Coop, nowhere to be found and he’s left a lot of angry men looking for him. Meanwhile, in the wild west, Dale Coop is finding himself caught up in a crime spree under the manic tutelage of Mad Dog Mantee.
Along the way we will meet a vaudeville pair of thugs named Teddy, an eastern European fem fatale named Bebe, a yellow bellied crook named Rooster Union, and we’ll enter the surreal world of the Pawn Daddy Pawn shop.
South of Heaven is a cinephile’s dream: A mix of film noir, Spaghetti Western, and Pee Wee’s Playhouse. The characters are unique, the world obscure, and the colors vivid.
You can expect a full review of the film to come soon and we’ve got an interview under way with the director which will appear closer to the film’s premiere but in the meantime we’ve got the first stills and a teaser clip from the picture to whet the appetite. Hit the link below for the stills and check the teaser in the Twitch Player below the break.

HOLLLLLYYYY----SHIT!!! Looks brillant, can’t wait, any chance I can score a bootlegged copy of that screener.
Kidding, realize that’s very not cool. Very pysched for this one and completely impatient to have to wait around for another year or 2, or 6 for this thing to find a distributer.
