Legendary Porn Star Brittany Andrews and “Scarface” star Steven Bauer Roq “Crumble”
Noted Porn Star Brittany Andrews makes her producing debut and stars in Renatta Bialkowska’s “Crumble” which will have its world premiere at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival (NYIIFVF) at Village East Cinema on Saturday July 24, 2010 at 6:10 PM on Screen 3. “Crumble” originated from a short story written by former film publicist Renata Bialkowska, who wanted to make a statement about the empowerment of women and exploitation of their sexuality.
Inspired by “Thelma and Louise” and “Requiem for a Dream,” the narrative unfolds as refined upper class trophy wife Lorna loses her seemingly perfect husband Mike to sordid affairs and dark addictions. She is then lured into the seedy New York City underground scene and empowers herself through an unlikely relationship with a prostitute named Bianca. A sexy arthouse thriller, “Crumble” is one woman’s journey through self-discovery and eventually out of the “box” that has imprisoned her for so many years.
Greed, lust, addiction, chaos… this truly gritty tale pays homage to the underworld of New York City and ends with a surprise twist sure to please even the most discerning fan of the genre. Bialkowska approached Golden Globe nominated actor Steven Bauer to play the role of the ruthless and dark antagonist named Reda. Bauer, best known for his role as Manolo opposite Al Pacino in “Scarface,” immediately took a liking to the script and his complex character. He has appeared in over 100 films including “Traffic” and “Primal Fear.” The female protagonist, Lorna, is played by Ukrainian beauty Oksana Lada who is best known for her recurring role in HBO’s “The Sopranos,” and was recently in the Sundance nominated film “Cold Souls.” NYIIFVF’s founder and Executive Producer Stuart Alson stated “’Crumble’ is a compelling and well made film with an outstanding effort from a first time director, and an unforgettable performance by newcomer Alexandra Grossi who plays ‘Bianca.’”
“Crumble” will have its world premiere on Saturday July 24th in New York City.
