2010 SoHo International Film Festival Announces 'One In The Gun' as Official Closing Night Premiere

Post-Film Q&A with director/writer Rolfe Kanefsky, Producer Esther Goodstein, star Steven Man

New York, NY – February 6, 2010 – The inaugural 2010 SoHo International Film Festival - presented by Made In New York and the Office of New York Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, will be held from February 18 – 21, 2010 in New York City.

The festival will close with Rolfe Kanefsky’s neo-noir ‘One In The Gun’ at the festival lofts theater, 394 Broadway 4th Fl. New York, NY 10013, at 7:30 PM on February 21, 2010. This is the world premiere of the film.

Leading film critic, Betty Jo Tucker of Reel Talk Movie Reviews, wrote, “One in the Gun [is] a fascinating film noir with bizarre David Lynchian undertones. Written and directed by Rolfe Kanefsky, this intriguing movie boasts a complicated plot, mysterious characters and disturbing surprises. It wallows in situations involving seduction, robbery, madness and murder. And every time you think you’ve got things figured out, something happens to make you think again.”

Kanefsky, whose works are well known in the horror genre, wrote the script in three months, drawing inspiration from the classic noirs. “Film noir is one of my favorite genres, it truly draws on every facet of human emotion, so when Steven (Man, lead actor) and I were looking to create a project, it made perfect sense and created what I feel was a great vehicle to showcase the range of his talent.” 'One In The Gun' also stars Robert Davi (Die Hard, The Goonies, James Bond’s “License To Kill”), Katherine Randolph (Jarhead, Black Ops) with Steven Bauer (Scarface, Primal Fear, Traffic) and James Russo (Public Enemies, Donny Brasco, Beverly Hills Cop).

Charles Papas, author of It's a Bitter Little World: The Smartest, Toughest, Nastiest Quotes from Film Noir sums it up with “as long as life disappoints, men and women betray each other, and what we need gets us killed, there'll always be film noir.”

“We are honored to present the World Premiere of Manmade Entertainment Productions', 'One In The Gun' as the festival’s official closing night feature film presentation,” said SIFF Co-founders, Luis Pedron and Jorge Ballos. “We were impressed and honored to receive entries from around the world and feel that this film not only met, but surpassed our festival mandate of cutting-edge digital films that honoring traditional forms of storytelling.”

Robert Davi Joins Cast of Neo-noir "One In The Gun"

Robert Davi Joins Cast of Neo-noir "One In The Gun"
Internationally renowned actor from James Bond, Goonies and Die Hard joins cast of Lynchian thriller, "One In The Gun".

HOLLYWOOD, CA– It’s a scorching afternoon in the middle of California’s high desert and the tall, striking, multi-award winning actor Robert Davi strides onto the legendary 4-Aces film set, to kick off filming director/writer Rolfe Kanefsky’s latest flick, “One In The Gun”. Davi’s creation of the devilish noir character Vincent, comes with absolute fluidity: an ex-con with a penchant for axes whose penetrating laughter is as sinister as his stare.

Instantly recognized from both film (“James Bond: License To Kill”, “Goonies”, “Die Hard”, and “Hot Chick”) and television (“Profiler”, “Stargate: Atlantis” and “Huff”), Davi, has been very successfully touring the festival world with his feature film directorial debut “The Dukes” while filming David Zucker’s “An American Carol” with the all-star cast of Kevin Farley, Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, Dennis Hopper, Leslie Nielsen and Kevin Sorbo and locking down his role in Max Ryan’s “The Hunchback” with John Rhys-Davies.

“One In The Gun” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1217059/) revamps the classic noir genre with a modern flair, while paying tribute to such masters as Billy Wilder (Double Indemnity), Lawrence Kasdan (Body Heat) and David Lynch (Mulholland Dr.). A deliciously dark tale of one man’s desperate spiral into an endless, personal hell; private investigator Mickey Lewis (Steven Man) discovers that it only takes “One In The Gun”. Can Mickey stay focused on his mark? If he pursues love over logic, can he win this game of manipulation against a femme fatale that knows no bounds?

Davi joins cast members Steven Bauer (“Scarface”, “How The Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer”); Steven Man ("Savage Island," "Augusta Gone"); Katherine Randolph ("Jarhead," "Black Ops"); Robert Donavan ("Nightmare Man") and James Russo ("Donnie Brasco," "Beverly Hills Cop" and Michael Mann's upcoming "Public Enemies" starring Johnny Depp).

“One In The Gun” writer/director Rolfe Kanefsky whose credits include “Blonde & Blonder” (First Look/Rigel), “Nightmare Man” (Lionsgate), “Jacqueline Hyde” (Warner), “The Hazing” (MTI) has teamed up with Director of Photography Gigi Malavasi, and producers Michelle Czernin von Chudenitz, Esther Goodstein and Miriam Bertke, projects a Spring 2009 release.
