| Director Steven Cantor presents an engaging (and often hilarious) look at the world of nightclub bouncers, the men behind the velvet rope, responsible for weeding out the beautiful people from the average Joes and ejecting undesirables and troublemakers--if necessary, by brute force. Meet the hotheaded, bloodthirsty Jordan, twin bouncers (and best friends) Mike and Frank DeMaio, and Terence Black Prince Buckley, whose life dream is to land a position at a prestigious Manhattan establishment so he can buy his mother the red BMW she`s always wanted. There`s also Lenny McLean, a.k.a. The Guv`nor, a retired bouncer who has attained celebrity status in Britain as a veteran of over 20,000 barroom brawls, with the battle scars to prove it. Some are in it for the excitement, some for the women, and some for the violence. After all, when push comes to shove, You gotta do what you gotta do.Filmed at popular nightclubs in New York City and London, BOUNCE: BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE premiered at the 2000 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for Best Feature Film. |
