A genre-bending surrealist noir set in the 1950’s, THE BLUE ROSE follows the one-night journey of two rookie detectives as they set out to solve a seemingly clear-cut homicide, only to find themselves in an alternative reality of their worst nightmares.
“IN THE BLUE ROSE, BARON CREATES A UNIQUE AND FASCINATING ENIGMA OF A FILM, ANNOUNCING HIS ARRIVAL WITH A COBALT BLAZE OF CREATIVITY THAT WEARS ITS UNCONVENTIONAL AND OBSCURE BADGE WITH PRIDE.”
– CINERAMA FILM
“A TECHNICAL MARVEL, THE BLUE ROSE DEMONSTRATES A VAST AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL FOR SOMEONE STILL SO EARLY IN THEIR CAREER. FANS OF DAVID LYNCH ARE SURE TO BE ENTERTAINED WITH THIS HEAD-SCRATCHING AND KOOKY STORY THAT EMBRACES THE BYGONE DECADE OF THE FIFTIES.”

There is something beautiful and terrifying about the way grief shows up for each of us. How we can’t prepare for it and how unpredictable it is. How it encompasses us in isolation, and how it will wait, patiently, until we face it. How the world insists on continuing on without regard for your newly/violently shifted perspective on life. When you’re grieving, you want everything to stop for you to feel what you’re feeling. But it doesn't. Life just sort of goes on.
This is a film for anyone who has ever lost someone close to them… or who will… so of course it’s a film for all of us.

Sascha Alexander wrote and starred in this hilarious Funnyordie.com piece about how true slacking takes work. Adam Franklin directs and makes a few appearances as the advanced sluggard who needs to maximize inactivity. It was a small crew, just Ken, myself, Adam, Sascha, and our friendly sound man Steve, but sometimes the best ideas come with the fewest minds stretched thin. Give it a peek!
