ScreenAnarchy has your exclusive first look at the brand new poster for Joel Potrykus' film Buzzard!
Potrykus' film is being released by Oscilloscope Laboratories in theaters and digitally on March 6, 2015. Potrykus regular Joshua Burge (Ape and Coyote) stars in this slacker drama.
Marty is a caustic, small-time con artist drifting from one scam to the next. When his latest ruse goes awry, mounting paranoia forces him from his lousy small town temp job to the desolate streets of Detroit with nothing more than a pocket full of bogus checks, a dangerously altered Nintendo® Power Glove, and a bad temper. Albert Camus meets Freddy Krueger in BUZZARD, a hellish and hilarious riff on the struggles of the American working class.
ScreenAnarchy Managing Editor Peter Martin had this to say about Buzzard when he wrote up a preview for the film before it played at the Oak Cliff Film Festival last year.
The film is visually arresting because it lacks any artifice; it's like a home movie made with precision and care. Despite the plenitude of comic books and horror movie posters in his apartment, Marty is not a lovable loser; he's entirely consumed with his own existence and displays no fellow-feeling whatsoever. He's an immature child in an adult's body, which makes him an unknown commodity when he's faced with a crisis. As writer and director, Potrykus sets up a fascinating situation revolving around an opaque character that refuses easy resolution in memorable fashion.
