The Champ is a washed-up wrestler who once made a fatal mistake and is now stuck working for the mob. When a pollero (human smuggling) run goes disastrously wrong, The Champ is set on a collision course with powerful forces on both sides of the border as he seeks justice for a group of migrants – and redemption for himself.
Add an original Ennio Morricone-inspired score by Michael Dubue (front man of new-wave/pop/experimental band The Hilotrons), and you’ve got another action-packed ass-kick of a film.

Independent films don’t come much more indie than The Dead Sleep Easy. This is the third feature from director Lee Gordon Demarbre (Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter, the Harry Knuckles films). As with Demarbre’s previous efforts, The Dead Sleep Easy was shot on a shoestring. But this time, he was spending pesos, not dollars, with filming taking place entirely on location in Guadalajara , Mexico
“We’re an overnight success story ten years in the making,” says Demarbre, “We’ve been working independently in for a decade, funding our own films, making and distributing them ourselves. So making a movie with someone else’s money is something new for us.”
Each screening will also feature special post-film question-and-answer sessions with Producer Robert Menzies and Ana Sidel.
