LOVE TWICE

Sal, (Deniz Demirer) a screenwriter and a drunk, labors over LOVE TWICE his chaotic screenplay. Hired by producer, Lester, (John Cale) to write a "Conradian" pot boiler Sal prefers a sensitive character study. Rodrigo (Carl Lumbly) a local fisherman considers Sal a modern conquistador dominated by fear. Sal decides to enter into his own screenplay as a character and find new means, possibly illicit, to fund LOVE TWICE.

World Premier: Mill Valley Film Festival, 2016

"What do you do when the spark touches down—brief and hot?" So begins award-winning director Rob Nilsson's (Permission to Touch, A Bridge to a Border) provocative meditation on the Möbius relationship of fiction to reality, and the notion of creative control... Risking his sanity to save the screenplay, Sal struggles to regain control of his characters and satisfy the demands of his producer Lester (legendary Velvet Underground founder John Cale), driving a wedge between the lovers with a desperate attempt to seduce Luz. Veteran actor Carl Lumbly appears as Rodrigo, another controlling interest in Sal's film, who imposes his own designs on the production.” —Karen Davis, MVFF, Oct 6, 2016
