FEATURE FILMS

LOWLIFE

“A real stroke of genius.”

- Quentin Tarantino

What happens when you throw together a failed Mexican wrestler with rage issues, a just-out-of-prison ex-con with a regrettable face tattoo, and a recovering addict in search of a kidney?

That’s the set-up for the wild, bloody, and insanely entertaining feature film Co-Written and Produced by Tim Cairo.

Ranging from funny to savage to unexpectedly heartfelt, this irreverent crime thriller serves up heart-pounding action, alongside a hard-hitting commentary about contemporary America.

Lowlife played festivals around the world, winning an Audience Award and Cheval Noir Special Jury Prize for “Audaciousness, energy, and perfectly embodying the anarchic Fantasia spirit" at its 2017 Fantasia Film Festival World Premiere. The film also won top prizes for "Best Film", "Best Director", and "Best Actor" at its U.S. Premiere at Cinepocalypse 2017.

Lowlife was released theatrically through IFC Midnight, and made several Best of the Year and Top Ten lists. Quentin Tarantino called the film “a real stroke of genius”, praising its writing and originality.
