Misfit Films announces the North American Premiere of CARBUNCLE, award-winning filmmaker T. Arthur Cottam’s provocative first feature film. CARBUNCLE was made on a micro-budget over the course of five years and had its World Premiere at the Milan Film Festival. CARBUNCLE, a mobile home drama with a disabling sense of humor, concerns a director with Asperger’s Syndrome making a movie about a mentally challenged woman who is manipulated by her alcoholic social worker. "I’m excited to have the North American premiere at the Echo Park Film Center.” says Cottam, “They have the same independent spirit with which this film was made. The response to the film in Milan was overwhelmingly positive and I’m hoping American audiences will have a similar reaction. My goal is to both entertain and provoke.”
Cottam and CARBUNCLE cast members Jim Eshom, Shawn Lockie, John Falchi, Jamie Garza, Doug Goetz, Bo Lebo, Josh T. Ryan, Nicole Blume and Kent Hatch will be available for a Q&A session after the screening, which is also a benefit to raise money for HOME VIDEOS, Cottam’s next film.
