(NEW YORK – NY) POSE DOWN (86 mins, s16) is a dark, offbeat dramedy set in the 90’s in Southwest Florida revolving around three former high school classmates –the bodybuilder, the good ol’ boy and the homecoming queen - whose lives become entangled after the airing of a tabloid news program.
POSE DOWN mines the ridiculous with the sublime in this personal tale about a woman’s unraveling life, and her attempt to “pose down” her past in order to look to a better future.
POSE DOWN deals with themes and issues shared by many women struggling for independence and searching for an identity. The film provocatively balances the funny and ironic with the sad and tragic. A thematic structure that can be found in writer/director ERIKA YEOMANS' other award winning short films and videos (Boo, Paging Dr. Freud, Chubby Buddy, The Forgery, In Search of Bas Jan's Miraculous).
The soundtrack for POSE DOWN blends alt-rock indie artists of the 80's and 90's (Florida bands such as Beggar Weeds and Charlie Pickett) with alt-rock indie artists of today (Earl Greyhound, The Glaciers, Smog, Six Organs of Admittance and Corn Mo) to create a rocking tapestry of music that further underscores the film's thought-provoking imagery. POSE DOWN premiered at the prestigious Fort Lauderdale International Film
Festival in 2007 and screened at various independent festivals such as: Magnolia Independent Film Festival, Twin Rivers Festival in North Carolina where it placed third in audience awards and London’s Portobello International Film Festival. It will be released in the fall of 2009.
POSE DOWN was shot in 22 days on Super 16 mm in the spring of 2006. An ultra low budget production, (200k) POSE DOWN is Ms. Yeomans feature film directorial debut and was produced by AARON S. LEVINE. The production garnered tremendous business and community support from the city of Fort Myers, Florida and its residents. The production had the full support of the Fort Myers Fire Department, The Mayor of Fort Myers office, the Lee County School District and the Lee County Sheriff's Department, who even allowed the production to cast real deputies as the police officers in the film. The project was awarded a pre-production grant from New York State Council on the Arts. POSE DOWN was photographed by award-winning cinematographer BENJAMIN KASULKE (Humpday, Guy Maddin's Brand Upon the Brain, 2006 Slamdance Kodak Vision Award Winner) and edited by SANDRA MONTIEL (Kath & Kim, MTV's Laguna Beach, The Martha Stewart Story, Punch Drunk Love).
The film features emerging young talent including ADAM NEE (Filmmaker Magazine's "25 to Watch 2006"), BRIAN SLATEN (Army Wives, The Tourist), CHRIS STACK (Rodger Dodger, The School of Rock), COSMO PFEIL (Descent, Shotgun Stories), KRISTIN DISPALTRO (Transit, Margarita Happy Hour, The Hill) and RICH SOMMER (Mad Men, The Devil Wears Prada).
