Fukry

A screwball stoner rom-com set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the film follows Ching Yazzie, a longboard craftsman, and Dawn Wilson, an aspiring performance artist set on moving to Northern California for a “mime residency.” When Ching expresses his love for Dawn, burdened by heavy emotions, she pukes on him. This catapults into Dawn leaving and propelling Ching into a spiraling descent. Through the course of a long weekend involving punk rock shows, a gallery opening and some comic fighting, the characters discover their real feelings.

Teueikan AwardFukry by Blackhorse Lowe As if a mocking God had thrown them there at random, the characters in Blackhorse Lowe's film find themselves, celestial vagabonds, in the beautiful, disturbing strangeness of an Albuquerque where fleeting flashes of lightning sometimes light up the indifferent sky. Troubled, joyful Bohemians, they collide in binge drinking, parties, encounters, and artistic quests, against a background of restless hope for an illumination that never comes. The script of the film, progressing through interwoven motifs with Mondrianesque skill, provides a backdrop for a metaphysics of the present time.
